Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French accompliss-, accomplir.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman acumpliss-, Anglo-Norman and Middle French acompliss-, accompliss-, lengthened stem (compare -ish suffix²) of Anglo-Norman acumplir, Anglo-Norman and Middle French acomplir, accomplir (French accomplir ) to fulfil or carry out successfully (an undertaking, desire, etc.) (12th cent. in Old French, with as object variously God's plan of salvation for the world, a promise, God's commandments, or an action; also used intransitively (second half of the 13th cent. or earlier)), to complete, spend, or pass (a period of time) (end of the 12th cent.), to complete, finish (a piece of work which is a concrete object, e.g. a chariot, building, etc.) (13th cent.), to reach (a certain age) (beginning of the 13th cent. or earlier), to make complete or perfect (13th cent. or earlier, originally with reference to making something up in number), to complete (a journey) (c1375) < a- a- prefix⁵ + Anglo-Norman cumplir , Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French complir complish v. Compare Old Occitan accomplir , acomplir (13th cent.), Catalan acomplir (1274), Spanish †acomplir (first half of the 13th cent.), Italian †accompiere (second half of the 13th cent.). Compare complish v.The historical pronunciation is /əˈkʌmplɪʃ/. N.E.D. (1884) comments that this pronunciation has ‘recently given way’ to a spelling pronunciation /əˈkɒmplɪʃ/. This spelling pronunciation is attested in British pronouncing dictionaries from at least 1764 (W. Johnston), and was the preferred pronunciation in editions of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict. from ed. 1 (1917) until ed. 13 (1969). However, ed. 14 (1977) and later editions of Jones again favour the historical pronunciation /-kʌm-/, as does J. C. Wells Longman Pronunciation Dict. (1990), which records an overwhelming preference of its poll panel (92%) for that pronunciation. In U.S. English, the equivalent of the spelling pronunciation (with /ɑ/ in the second syllable) has always been predominant, and is alone recorded in U.S. dictionaries like Webster (1828 and later). N.E.D. (1884) gives an alleged post-classical Latin verb accomplere as etymon of the French verb, but there is no evidence for such a Latin verb.

a. transitive. To fulfil, perform, or carry out successfully (an undertaking, desire, request, etc.); to achieve (one's object).
