Refill feels obligatory; replenish feels like self-care with extra steps.
means To fill something back up again, restoring it to full after it's been used or depleted.
from From Old French 'replenir,' built from 're-' (again) plus 'plenir' (to fill), itself rooted in Latin 'plenus,' meaning full — the same ancestor that gave us 'plenty' and 'plenary.' So replenish is literally 'to make full again,' a word that's been quietly restoring things to capacity since Middle English.
