Morphology

accomplished = accomplish (semi-transparent) = accomplish + ed

Formally the past-participle adjective of 'accomplish', but the sense 'skilled, highly proficient' is a figurative extension ('having accomplished much') rather than a direct literal 'completed'.

Etymology

Accomplished at first meant 'made complete' and comes from the same root as the word accomplish and accomplishment, which are about doing and finishing things. Because people who have 'finished' many tasks are often very skilled, accomplished came to mean 'highly skilled' or 'very good' at something.
