implementn.

/ˈɪmplɪmənt/

Forms: 1500s yn-, ymple-, ( imply-, empell-, hympyll-), 1500s–1700s impliment, (1600s impell-, emploi-, imploye-), Middle English– implement.

Etymology: apparently < Latin implēmentum a filling up ( < implēre to fill; see implete adj.) taken in the sense of ‘that which serves to fill up or stock (a house, etc.)’; in which sense implementa occurs in an Anglo-Latin letter of 1541 (see sense 1 below) and may have been in considerably earlier use. Of Old French emplement , < empler to fill, fill up, Godefroy cites only one example, in sense ‘filling up, fulfilling, completing’. The word was evidently sometimes referred to employ v., and so confused with employment, as if = ‘thing employed or used’.

I. An instrument; (an item of) equipment or outfit.

a. plural. Things that serve as equipment or outfit, as household furniture or utensils, ecclesiastical vessels or vestments, wearing apparel or ornaments, etc. In singular. An article of furniture, dress, etc.[Cf. Letter of 1541, Rymer, XIV. 723 Cum omnibus et omnimodis vasibus, jocalibus, ornamentis, bonis, catallis, et Implementis.]
