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.”
