Etymology: This is an inflected form, so I'll keep it brief: "accomplishing" is the present participle of "accomplish", and the verb itself came into English in the late 14th century, borrowed from Old French "acomplir" (modern "accomplir"). That French verb grew from Latin "complere", meaning "fill up" or "complete", the same root that gives English "complete". The sense of the Latin is literal filling: to fill a vessel or a space until nothing is missing. English "accomplish" carries that idea of filling a task or purpose until it is whole, which is why bringing a plan to its finished state is what the word now describes.
