Fail?

Answer 4

"Fail" would be the most extreme term, as it indicates the total inability to meet a target or pass an examination.

So would be "not to make the grade".

"Under achieve" would describe the failure to meet one's potential, as would "under perform".

"To fall short of the mark" indicates that one has achieved something  but it not all that was expected.

According to the dictionary the antonyms of "achieve" are "abandon" "give-up"or "fail".

Answer 5

Fail

Under-achieve

Under-perform

Flop

Answer 6

Fail

Miss (the target)

Answer 7

I think 'not trying' should be opposite of achieve.

And not 'Fail'  because when you fail you achieve something (some experience, knowledge etc) but when you do not try then you simply do not 'achieve' anything..

Answer 8

fail i would think

Answer 9

To "unachieve", my interpretation of the word "achieve" is to successfully fullfill a task or want or desire, to unachieve this would simply be the opposite. "Un" being the aproripate proffix.
