How to spell fulfillment

hear itful·fill·ment/fʊl'fɪlmənt/nounHidden vowels

What it means: A feeling of satisfaction.

In a sentence: Opening my birthday gift brought me great fulfillment.

The part people get wrong

Watch for double l, and an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear. Often misspelled as fulfilment or fullfillment.

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.

Patterns it uses: Double the consonant before a suffix? · The unstressed vowel (schwa)
