consummations

Acts of completion

Consummations are acts of completing or bringing to fulfillment.

A marriage is consummated by sexual intercourse; a business deal by signing.

The word carries formality and finality—these are not casual completions but culminating moments: the consummation of years of negotiation, the consummation of their love.

Often appears in the singular.
