accomplishment
Something proudly done
An accomplishment is something achieved through effort or skill—a completed goal, a notable deed, a task brought to fruition.
Graduating was her proudest accomplishment.
The word carries connotations of merit; accomplishments are worth noting, not merely finished.
Accomplishment can also mean refined skill or ability: a woman of many accomplishments suggests cultivated talents in areas like music, languages, or social graces.
