Etymology: "Accomplishers" is the plural of "accomplisher", a straightforward formation: the verb "accomplish" with the agent suffix "-er" added, giving a word for one who accomplishes. The verb itself came into English from Old French, where "acomplir" meant to complete, fulfil or carry out, and the Latin root behind it is "complere", to fill up. The suffix does most of the work here. "-er" descends through a long chain: Latin "-arius", which denoted a person connected with something, passed into Old French as "-ier" and then into Middle English as "-er", while Old English had a related "-ere" with the same function. The suffix thus arrived in English by two routes, one native and one French-borne, and it has been forming agent nouns ever since.
