The word "effectuate" derives from the Latin effectus (past participle of efficere, meaning "to accomplish" or "to bring about"), combined with the verb-forming suffix -ate. The root "effect" retains its core meaning of "result" or "outcome," while the suffix -uate (via Latin -uare) transforms it into a verb meaning "to make something happen." The word entered English in the late 16th century, emphasizing the active process of causing an effect.
