Etymology: "Accomplish" carries a literal sense of filling. It comes from Old French "acomplir", which descends from Latin "complere", meaning "to fill up" (from "com-", intensive, plus "plere", "to fill"). Its original sense was to fill out or complete something, and the idea of finishing a task grew from that. The rest of the formation is regular. The suffix "-able" comes from Latin "-abilis", meaning "capable of being", and "-ity" comes from Latin "-itas", a suffix that turns an adjective into a noun for a quality or state. Together, "accomplish" plus "-able" gives "accomplishable" (capable of being completed), and adding "-ity" makes the abstract noun for that quality. The result is a transparent coinage with no unusual sound changes or shifts in meaning along the way.
