Meaning
A supplement is an additional component or resource that enhances, completes, or provides further information to a primary subject or material, often used in academic or professional contexts to augment understanding or provide supplementary evidence.
💡 While "supplement" can refer to various types of additions, it is often misused to imply mere extras rather than essential enhancements; care should be taken to distinguish between necessary and optional supplements.
