Origin of the word ACCEDE.  Etymology of the word ACCEDE.

From An Etymology Dictionary of the English Language, by Walter W. Skeat, 1893

 

ACCEDE,  to come to terms, agree to.  (L.)   The verb is not in early use; but the sb. access is common in Shak. and Milton.   In Mid. Eng. we have accesse in the sense of a sudden accession of fever or ague, a fever-fit; as in Lydgate's Complaint of the Black Knight, l. 136.   This is a French use of the word.—Lat. accedere, to come towards, assent to; also spelt adcedere; pp. accessus.—Lat. ad, to; and cedere, to come, go, yield.   See Cede.   Der. access, access-ary, access-ible, access-ion, access-or-y; all from the pp. accessus.
