Telic verb or verb phrase is a verb that presents a complete action. The test for telic or atelic verbs is to use the verb with phrases "in a month" and "for a month." If "in a month" sounds good, it is telic. If "for a month" - it is an atelic verb.

The name "Op Telic" stands for "Operation Telic,' which was the codename given to the military operation launched by the United Kingdom in 2003 as part of the larger Iraq War. The term "Telic" is derived from the Greek word "telos," meaning "purpose" or "end," and was chosen to reflect the mission's objectives.
