Definition
To increase, grow, or accumulate; to grow by accretion or natural addition (rare archaic term).
Etymology
From Latin 'accrescere', combining 'ad-' (to) with 'crescere' (to grow). This is the root form from which modern words like 'accrue' and 'accretion' derive.
Kelly Says
This Latin-based verb is the great-grandmother of both 'accrue' and 'accresce'—English speakers kept simplifying it over centuries until we arrived at the smooth, one-syllable 'accrue' we use today.
