• Synonym実施じっしNeutralThe broadest word for putting plans, systems or exams into effect. 「執行」 is narrower, leaning to enforcement of laws, orders and budgets, as in 「刑の執行」.
• Synonym実行じっこうNeutralCovers putting ideas or plans into action generally, plus running programs. 「執行」 suggests acting under law or official authority, or solemnly holding a ceremony.
• Synonym履行りこうWrittenA written word for fulfilling promises, obligations or contracts; its object is a pledge or debt. 「執行」 takes laws, judgments or official duties as its object.
• Synonym遂行すいこうWrittenA written word for carrying a task or duty through to the end, stressing completion. 「執行」 stresses actually implementing something as the rules require.
• Synonym行うおこなうNeutralThe all-purpose verb for doing or holding things — ceremonies, exams, surveys. 「執行」 leans to legal or official enforcement, or solemnly performing a rite.
• Related成し遂げるなしとげるNeutralA verb for seeing work or duties through to the end, or pulling off something great. 「執行」 is simply implementing by the rules, with no sense of success or failure.
• RelatedなすWrittenA written verb for doing or acting in general, as in 「為す術もない」. It has no sense of legal enforcement and only overlaps with 「執行」 in the bare act of carrying out.
• Related達成たっせいNeutralMeans reaching a goal or hitting a target, focusing on the result. 「執行」 refers to the process and act of implementation itself, not the outcome.
• RelatedなすWrittenA written verb mostly for forming or constituting something, or achieving, as in 「財を成す」. It only overlaps with 「執行」 in the sense of getting something done.
• Related果たすはたすNeutralA verb for fulfilling a task, duty or promise, as in 「役割を果たす」. 「執行」 is implementation in an official or legal capacity.
• RelatedやるCasualThe most colloquial verb for doing, usable for almost anything. 「執行」 leans to legal or official implementation and sounds formal and weighty.
• Related実践じっせんNeutralPutting theory or ideals into actual practice, as in 「理論を実践する」. 「執行」 is for implementing laws, court judgments or budgets.
• Relatedやり遂げるやりとげるCasualA colloquial verb for sticking with work until it is done. 「執行」 is a bureaucratic, legal term and carries no nuance of seeing something through.
• Relatedし遂げるしとげるWrittenMeans persisting to the very end and achieving one's aim; it is rare, with 「やり遂げる」 the everyday choice. Unlike 「執行」, it is not about legally mandated implementation.
• Antonym停止ていしNeutralBrings something already under way to a stop, the opposite of carrying it out; 「執行停止」 means suspending an execution.
• Antonym中止ちゅうしNeutralMeans stopping midway or calling off something planned, standing opposite to 「執行」 in whether the thing is carried out at all.
• Antonym猶予ゆうよWrittenA written word for postponing or granting extra time, opposite to carrying out on schedule; 「執行猶予」 is a suspended sentence.

Use 「執行」 for enforcing laws, judgments or budgets, or solemnly performing rites like 「法要を執行する」. For general plans pick 「実施」 or 「実行」; for promised obligations 「履行」; for seeing tasks through 「遂行」. Everyday doing is 「行う」, colloquially 「やる」. 「成し遂げる」「果たす」「やり遂げる」 stress finishing, 「達成」 the result, 「実践」 putting ideals into practice. Opposites: 「停止」 suspends what is under way (「執行停止」), 「中止」 cancels it, and 「執行猶予」 is a suspended sentence.
