   perpetrate

   /ˈpəːpɪtreɪt/

   verb

   • 1. carry out or commit (a harmful, illegal, or immoral action): "a crime has been perpetrated against a sovereign state"

   Word Origin mid 16th century: from Latin perpetrat- ‘performed’, from the verb perpetrare, from per- ‘to completion’ + patrare ‘bring about’. In Latin the act perpetrated might be good or bad; in English the verb was first used in the statutes referring to crime, hence the negative association.
