Funky word of the day! "Supplement"
"Supplement":
1. That which fills up, completes, or makes an addition to,
something already organized, arranged, or set apart;
specifically, a part added to, or issued as a continuation
of, a book or paper, to make good its deficiencies or
correct its errors.

2. That which supplies a deficiency, or meets a want; a
store; a supply.


Of course, take off the "ment" and you're left with something "supple":
1. To make soft and pliant; to render flexible; as, to supple
leather.

Now, to use them in a sentence:

I need to supplement my life with something supple.

Man, I know what you lot are thinking right now - sick sick sick! :wow: I have an old leather jacket that needs restoration, so I've got this oil that will bring back the supple texture of leather. :P
