Done, Effect, Accomplish, Execute, Consummate or Complete?

Effect includes all that is done to accomplish the intent; execute refers rather to the final steps; consummate is limited quite sharply to the concluding act. As between complete and accomplish, complete considers rather the thing as done; accomplish, the whole process of doing it.
