incompletely

/ˌɪnkəmˈpɫitli/ adv

In an incomplete manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'plere' meaning 'to fill.' Complete is 'com-' (completely) + 'plere' — filled up fully. Incomplete is not filled up. The same root gives us deplete (empty out), replete (filled again), and plenty (fullness). The breakdown in+complete+ly shows the negative prefix on 'complete.' You can see the root in words like complement (something that fills up) and expletive (a word that fills out a sentence).
