A person who dwells near or in the vicinity of something, especially a neighboring inhabitant.
From Latin accolens, combining ad- (to) + colere (to dwell). Originally used in classical texts to describe neighbors or inhabitants of borderlands.
This Latin-derived term is completely obsolete in English—we just say 'neighbor' or 'resident,' but 'accolent' shows how English borrowed directly from Latin when it needed formal, precise terminology.
