Word origin

达成 (dáchéng, "reach and make complete") combines 达 (dá, "reach") + 成 (chéng, "become complete"), so the word frames an outcome as both arrived at and brought into effect.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Chinese, the object is usually an abstract outcome, while the people doing the work often appear as the subject; this pattern separates the process from its result.
