Obsolete or archaic term for a call or summons; an exclamation used to attract attention.
From Latin 'acce,' an exclamatory form possibly related to 'accede' (to go toward). The word is extremely rare and appears primarily in medieval and early modern English texts.
This word is so obsolete that it barely appears in any modern dictionary—it's basically a ghost word, a linguistic artifact from when people called to each other using Latin-derived exclamations that eventually just... disappeared from use.
