What does it mean that Christ was made perfect through suffering?

Answered in 1 source

Being made perfect through suffering means Christ was fully equipped to be the Redeemer, having experienced human suffering.

The phrase 'made perfect through suffering' indicates that Christ's trials qualified Him as our Savior and High Priest (Hebrews 2:10). This does not suggest He was imperfect prior; rather, it means His experiences fully equipped Him to identify with human suffering and to mediate for us. His trials exemplified His obedience and reliance on the Father, proving He was the qualified Redeemer who understands our sufferings. As our representative, His perfect obedience allows us to be seen as righteous before God.
