Lemma: πραγματοποιώ
Translation: to realize; to carry out; to implement; to fulfill; to accomplish (verb)
Etymology: Compound of πράγμα (pragma, 'thing, matter') and ποιώ ('to make, do'). The first element πράγμα shares the same root as English 'pragmatic' and 'practice', from Ancient Greek πράσσω (prássō, 'to do'). The second element ποιώ is related to English '-fy' (as in 'simplify') and 'poet' (literally 'maker'). Thus, πραγματοποιώ literally means 'to make something real/actual'.
Mnemonics
- Think 'pragmatic-poiesis' - making practical things happen
- Remember 'pragma' (thing) + 'poiō' (make) = making things real
