The etymological origin of the term achievement that we are now going to address must be stated that it is found in Latin. And it derives from “lucrum”, which can be translated as “usury”.
The term achievement is used with reference to the act and result of achieving . This verb (achieve), in turn, refers to obtaining or achieving something .
For example: “Having won the title in Paris was a great achievement for me” , “So far, the government's greatest achievement is keeping inflation under control, although there are still many unresolved problems” , “I don't think the tie was “It has been an achievement for the local team.”
Among the terms that can function as synonyms for achievement we find words such as gain, achievement, result and even success.
In the context of sports , an achievement is a favorable result . It can be the victory that is achieved in a match or a trophy that is achieved by completing a competition.
In this framework, winning a match is an achievement in football . However, depending on the particular circumstances, a tie may also be considered an achievement. Even if a humble team suffers the expulsion of three players in the first half and finally loses only 1 to 0 against the championship leader, this narrow defeat could be mentioned as an achievement.
Precisely an important achievement was the one obtained by the FC Barcelona soccer team in 2009. And it became the only Spanish club that won six different titles in the same year. Thus, he, who was under the orders of coach Pep Guardiola, won the following trophies: the League, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, the Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
Each person, in everyday life, has different conceptions about achievements. Completing a university degree, having children, progressing at work or forming a united family, to name a few possibilities, are issues that can be classified as achievements, if the individual aspired to that.
At a general level, there is a tendency to believe that any human being, by making an effort and training, can achieve achievements. In any case, there are social factors that make achievements easier to achieve for some subjects . This is what we can establish that is called the ideology of achievement.
Specifically, this term refers to the belief that a person achieves success at a social level if they carry out a great capacity for effort, work and sacrifice, as well as if they have a good education.
In the same way, we cannot ignore that there are song titles that have the term that concerns us now in their title. This would be the case of the single “Achievement Unlocked,” which is performed by rap and hip-hop singer Porta. It was officially presented in 2014 and was part of the album titled “Something has changed.”
