[i-FEK-choo-ayt'] 
1. to bring to pass; to accomplish: "Without an ally on the board, it will be difficult to effectuate the sweeping changes Karen has in mind."
noun form: effectuation
Origin:
Approximately 1580; from Medieval Latin, 'effectuare'; from Latin, 'effectus': an effect, from 'effec-,' the stem of 'efficere': to work out, to accomplish ('ef-': out + '-ficere,' 'facere': to do). In action:
"Now, I admit, as you can hear in the audio link below, I have met Rupert Murdoch once, at his house. I also admit that there was wine and there was cheese. But, to suggest that there is some sort of conspiracy I'm participating in to populate the airwaves with imitators of my program is sheer lunacy. I have no connection with Murdoch, no connection with Fox, except that they advertise on this program....In 1996, when I was the supposed tool of Newt Gingrich, Clear Channel and Rupert Murdoch, I was not even associated with Clear Channel. This notion that I am part of a conspiracy that dates to the early 80s and I am in partnership with Newt Gingrich, Clear Channel or Murdoch to effectuate this strategy of conservative dominance throughout the media won't hold up factually. It also makes no common sense. Why would I help my competitor/imitators?"

Consumers will soon be able to buy term life insurance and auto insurance online with e-signatures, said Behnam Dayanim, an attorney with Paul, Hastings, Jenosky & Walker, in Washington, D.C., who lobbied for the e-sign bill. But Dayanim noted that businesses are increasingly relying on electronic transactions to speed deals within their companies or among their established business partners. Such transactions might not be true e-signatures since they usually rely on paper signatures on file, but they are a sign of progress, he said. 'When you look globally, it's had a really pervasive but subtle effect on how people do business,' Dayanim said. 'There's more and more transactions where the parties effectuate the transactions online. I think that's in part attributable to e-sign.'"

"CPB Inc. announced its shareholders approved changing the name of its publicly-traded holding company to Central Pacific Financial Corp.
