Etymology
Consummate comes from Latin parts con- ('together') and summus ('highest' or 'top'), so it originally meant 'brought to the top'. Think of the word summit, the top of a hill, to imagine being at the highest, most perfect point. So consummate means showing the highest skill or being complete in every way.
