Adopts or adapts to a new culture, or causes someone else to do so; when a person or group takes on the beliefs, customs, and language of a different society.
From Latin 'ad-' (to) + 'cultura' (cultivation, culture). The prefix 'ac-' is the assimilated form of 'ad-'. The term was formalized in anthropology in the early 1900s to describe cultural change.
