Where does accomplish come from?
The first records of the word accomplish come from the 1300s. It comes from the Old French acomplir, meaning “to complete,†ultimately from the Latin ³¦´Ç³¾±è±ôŧ°ù±ð, which means to “to fill up†and is also the basis of the word complete.
Accomplish and achieve can be used as synonyms, but they sometimes imply slightly different things. Achieve and achievement often imply the completion of something important or difficult—a lofty goal or a great feat.
