Feats

/fits/ noun

Definition

Plural of feat: impressive or difficult achievements or accomplishments that require skill or bravery.

Etymology

From Old French 'fait,' derived from Latin 'factum' (a deed, thing done). Originally meant simply 'a deed' but evolved to emphasize remarkable or outstanding accomplishments by the 14th-15th centuries.

Kelly Says

The word 'feat' is related to 'fact' and 'factor'—they all come from the Latin 'facere' (to do/make)—so a 'feat' is literally 'a doing,' which is why it works perfectly for accomplished actions.
