   A fait accompli is a French phrase that translates to "accomplished fact". It refers to an action that has already been taken or a decision that has already been made which is irreversible and which others must accept because it cannot be changed. In short, it represents a situation or action that has already occurred or been carried out, and any discussion, argument, or rejection over it would not be able to alter the outcome.
