To approach or come near to a coast or shore.
From Old French acoster, combining à (to) + coste (coast). Originally a nautical term for drawing a ship close to the shoreline.
This nautical term is completely obsolete—sailors have used 'approach shore' or 'make landfall' for centuries, leaving 'accoast' as a ghost word in historical naval logs.
