Fulfillments

/fʊlˈfɪlmənts/ noun

Definition

Plural of fulfillment; instances of completing something, satisfying requirements, or achieving a desired state or goal.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Psychologists talk about 'self-actualization and fulfillment,' philosophers about 'existential fulfillment,' yet in warehouses people scan barcodes for 'order fulfillment'—the same word spanning from the spiritual to the mundane.
