Usage Note
Completar means to fill something in fully or to bring it to completion (completar un formulario, completar la tarea). It is more precise than terminar in that it emphasises reaching a full or whole state. The adjective completo/a means 'full, complete', and por completo is a fixed adverbial phrase meaning 'completely, entirely'.
