Accrue

/əˈkruː/ verb

Definition

To accumulate or increase gradually over time, especially money, interest, or benefits that build up even if not yet paid or received.

Etymology

From Old French 'accruer', from Latin 'accrescere' (to grow to), combining 'ad-' (to) and 'crescere' (to grow). Entered English in the 14th century from commercial and legal contexts.

Kelly Says

Every day you don't touch your savings account, interest accrues—the bank is literally adding free money to your account in tiny increments, and compound interest makes it grow faster and faster.
