'accomplishment' originates from Old French, specifically the word 'acomplir,' where 'a-' meant 'to' and 'complir' meant 'fill up or complete.'

'acomplir' transformed into the Middle English word 'acomplisshen,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accomplish.'

Initially, it meant 'to complete or fulfill,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'achievement or successful completion.'
