 Complementary & Alternative Medicine - Definition 

The word complement (with an e in the second syllable, not to be confused with a different word, compliment with an i) has a number of uses. Generally a complement of X is something that together with X makes a complete whole; that supplies what X lacks. The first e in complete and the first e in complement are etymological cognates of each other in a way that is a useful mnemonic for remembering that this is not compliment with an i.
