Accomplishes

Accomplishes is the third-person singular present form of the verb accomplish. It means to successfully complete or bring about a task, goal, plan, or project. The verb conveys that an intended result has been achieved through effort and action. It is transitive, typically taking a direct object, as in “She accomplishes her goals” or “The team accomplishes the project on schedule.”

Etymology: The word derives from Old French accomplir, from Latin adimplere “to fulfill, complete” (literally “to fill toward”). The sense developed in Middle English to describe bringing plans to completion or realizing objectives.

Usage and nuance: Accomplish is commonly used in formal, professional, or evaluative contexts. Typical collocations include accomplish a goal, accomplish objectives, accomplish tasks, and accomplish milestones. It is close in meaning to achieve or fulfill, but it often emphasizes the act of completing a planned sequence of work. The verb can be contrasted with accomplishment (the noun) and accomplished (the past tense or adjective describing skill or completion).

Related forms: accomplishment (noun) refers to an achieved result or notable skill; accomplished (adjective) describes someone who is skilled or something that has been completed. Accomplish is less about mere initiation and more about successful completion or realization of intended outcomes.

Examples: “The team accomplishes its mission by coordinating resources effectively.” “She accomplished all her assignments before the deadline.”
