Origin:
The word "achieve" ultimately derives from the Latin root "sequi," meaning "follow." In its original Latin form, "assequi," it meant "to follow up to, overtake, or reach something." This sense of pursuit and attainment carried over into Old French as "achever," which was adopted into Middle English as "acheven."
Over time, the meaning of "acheven" gradually shifted from its literal sense of "to reach" to the broader sense of "to accomplish or complete." By the 16th century, "achieve" had taken on its modern meaning, referring to the successful realization or completion of a goal, task, or ambition.
