accomplished
UK: əˈkʌmplɪʃt | US: əˈkɑːmplɪʃt
adj. highly skilled or proficient in a particular area
adj. successfully completed or achieved
adj. (of a person) refined or cultured in manner
The word "accomplished" traces back to the Latin ad- (to) + complere (fill up, complete). Over time, it evolved through Old French acomplir (to fulfill) into Middle English accomplissen. The suffix -ed marks it as a past participle, originally denoting completion but later extending to describe skilled individuals who have "completed" their training or mastery. The dual meaning—both "completed" and "highly skilled"—reflects the logical progression from achieving a task to embodying expertise.
