詰つ める 詰める is a broad verb meaning 'to pack, stuff, or fill', whereas 詰め切る adds the nuance of doing so completely or to the point of being always ready.
Etymology Compound of 詰める (tsumeru, 'to pack, fill') + 切る (kiru, 'to do completely'). The 切る suffix adds the meaning of doing something thoroughly or to the end, yielding 'to pack fully' and by extension 'to keep always at hand'.
