The sweet death of a task, the only ending that pays you in relief.

means The act or state of finishing something, bringing it to a full and final end.

from From Latin 'complere,' to fill up or fill out — a compound of 'com-' (intensifying, 'thoroughly') and 'plere' (to fill), the same 'plere' that gives us 'plenty,' 'replete,' and 'complement.' So at its root, to complete is to fill something all the way to the brim, leaving no empty space. It reached English through Old French in the late Middle Ages, the noun 'completion' arriving a touch later from the Latin 'completio.'
