Etymology: "Accomplishables" is the plural of "accomplishable," an adjective used here as a noun for things that can be carried through to completion. The base verb "accomplish" comes from Old French "acomplir," which traces back to Latin "complere," meaning "to fill up" or "to complete," from "com-" (intensive) and "plere" (to fill). The ending "-able" comes from Latin "-abilis," meaning "capable of being," so the whole word literally means "capable of being filled up" or "capable of being completed."
