做出來的手法與完成度
同一個「把它做出來」的畫面，把注意力從「有沒有做」移到「做得怎麼樣」。動作或作品在腦中都已經有藍圖，差別在手上做出來的那一次。
skill in performing · noun · C1
The way someone performs a difficult move or action, especially in sport or music.
動作的完成／技術表現
核心畫面
Picture something that already exists only on paper — a plan, an order, a court's decision, a line of code — and then the moment it stops being words and actually happens. Someone follows it through to the end. The word does not name the plan; it names the doing of it, and often how well the doing was done.

可以想成：有件事本來只存在於紙上——一個計畫、一道命令、一份判決、一行程式——然後它不再是字，而是真的發生了：有人把它從頭跟到尾做完。execution 指的不是那個計畫，而是「把它做出來」這個動作本身，有時候還連帶指「做得好不好」。連最嚇人的「處決」也是從這裡來的，那原本是法院判決被執行的意思。From the word’s history
From Latin executionem 'an accomplishing', from exequi 'to follow out'; in late 14c. English it meant 'a carrying out, a putting into effect, enforcement (of a law)'. The 'putting to death' sense (mid-14c.) came from Middle English legal phrases like don execution of deth, 'carry out a sentence of death' — so the killing sense is a shortening of 'carrying out the sentence'.
來自拉丁文 executionem「完成」，動詞 exequi 是「跟到底、follow out」。十四世紀末的英文裡它指「實行、使生效、（法律的）執行」。「處決」這個意思（十四世紀中）來自中古英文的法律用語 don execution of deth，也就是「執行死刑判決」——換句話說，處決是「執行判決」被講久了省略掉後半段的結果，並不是另一個字。

法律上的執行，以及死刑
法律文件也是一種「寫好還沒發生的東西」，讓它真的生效就是 execution。死刑那個意思就是從這一支縮短來的：原本要說「執行死刑判決」，講久了只留下 execution。
