efficiunt

Efficiunt is the third person plural present active indicative form of the Latin verb efficere, meaning to bring about, to effect, or to accomplish. It translates as “they bring about” or “they effect.” Efficere is a compound of ex- (out) and facere (to do); the prefix assimilates to eff- before labial consonants, yielding forms such as efficio and efficiunt.

In grammar, efficere belongs to the so-called -io verbs, a subset of the Latin third conjugation. The present active indicative paradigm runs with efficiō, efficis, efficit, efficimus, efficitis, efficiunt. The verb’s principal parts include efficiō and efficiunt, with the supine form effectum and the perfect active typically rendered as effēcī or effēcērunt in classical texts, depending on author and era.

Usage: Efficiunt conveys that a subject causes a result or completes a task, placing emphasis on the outcome rather than the action itself. It is commonly used when a specific result is produced, whether a practical achievement, a realization of a plan, or the creation or realization of a state or condition. The object of the verb can denote the thing brought about or the result attained.

Translations: In English, efficiunt is rendered as “they bring about,” “they effect,” or “they accomplish,” with nuances determined by context. In historical, rhetorical, or narrative prose, the form often appears when describing agents who produce a particular consequence or outcome.
