完全(加強語氣)
把「做到底、一點沒剩」從品質移到程度上,就變成純粹的加強:不是說某件事做得多好,而是說某個形容詞成立到滿格。

completely - used to make what you are saying stronger.
完全
Picture something carried all the way through with nothing left over — everything that had to be done is done, and there is no gap to point at. Two roads run out of that picture. Talking about quality, it means done ; used just to press a word harder, it means completely, one hundred per cent. So 'She sang perfectly' and 'It's perfectly normal' are both running on the same sense of full-to-the-top.
From Latin perficere 'to accomplish, finish, complete' — per- 'completely' + facere 'to make, do', literally 'to make completely'. The 'complete' half is what later gave English the intensifier use, as in 'a perfect stranger'.
來自拉丁文 perficere(完成、做完),由 per-(完全地)+ facere(做)組成,字面就是「做到完全」。「完成」這一半後來在英文裡長成了加強語氣的用法(例如 a perfect stranger=完全不認識的人)——所以「完美地」和「完全地」不是兩個不相干的意思,是同一個「做到滿」的兩種走向。
