Supplementary & complementary

Supplementary, an adjective,

refers to something added in order to complete something else,

to make up a deficiency, to extend or strengthen an object, item, or idea:

 “A food allowance was supplementary to his weekly pay.”

“He took vitamins as a supplementary part of his diet.”

Complementary is closely related to supplementary

in meaning but emphasizes not so much addition

as it does completion or an essential addition:

“In everyone’s life, food and sleep are complementary.

“As a scholar, Professor Auray insists that reading plays a complementary role in his life.”
