Accompli

/ˌɑkɑ̃ˈpli/ noun

Definition

French phrase (fait accompli) meaning 'an accomplished fact'; a thing that has already happened and is now presumed unchangeable, often used in English.

Etymology

From French: accompli is the past participle of accomplir 'to accomplish.' Fait accompli literally means 'done deed,' used in English to describe an irreversible decision.

Kelly Says

When someone presents you with a fait accompli, they're not asking for your opinion—the deed is already done, and it's a surprisingly effective (if sneaky) negotiation tactic that appears across politics, business, and families.
