replenish
Significado: To fill something up again after it has been depleted, restoring stocks, supplies, or resources to their former level.
Replenish implies a return to fullness after exhaustion or depletion. It is common in environmental writing (replenish groundwater, replenish fish stocks), military logistics (replenish ammunition), and everyday contexts (replenish the fridge). The word has a slightly elevated register compared to 'refill' or 'restock,' making it suitable for formal reports and journalism. In skincare and wellness marketing, it has become almost ubiquitous.
