feat

Impressive skilled accomplishment

A feat is an achievement requiring skill, strength, or courage—something difficult that not everyone could accomplish.

The word often appears with adjectives emphasizing impressiveness: a remarkable feat of engineering, an athletic feat, no mean feat.

To accomplish something no mean feat is to do something genuinely difficult.
