A legal document or acknowledgment where a person accepts responsibility for payment of a bill of exchange; a signed acceptance.
From the Latin phrase 'acceptavit' meaning 'he/she accepted it,' used in medieval and early modern English law for financial instruments.
This is a ghost word from financial history—it's what a medieval merchant would sign when agreeing to pay a bill later, making them legally bound to the debt.
