efficiebant

efficiebant is a Latin verb form. It is the third-person plural imperfect active indicative of the verb efficere. The verb efficere means to make, produce, effect, accomplish, or bring about. Therefore, efficiebant translates to "they were making," "they were producing," "they were effecting," "they were accomplishing," or "they were bringing about." The imperfect tense in Latin often describes ongoing or repeated actions in the past, or sets the scene for a narrative. The third-person plural ending indicates that the subject of the verb is "they." For example, in a sentence like "Milites muros efficiebant," it would mean "The soldiers were building the walls." The specific nuance of "efficiebant" depends on the context in which it appears. It is a common verb form found in classical Latin literature.
