What it means: A feeling of satisfaction.

The part people get wrong

Watch for double l, and an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Also spelled: fulfilment (accepted as correct).

Same family: fulfilled, fulfilling, fulfiller, satisfaction. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Fulfillment” comes from the verb “fulfill,” which originally meant “to completely fill or complete.” The suffix “-ment” turns the action into a noun, so fulfillment literally suggests the state of being fully completed or satisfied.
