Etymology: Probably partly < classical Latin accrēscere to increase in size, grow larger, to grow big, to grow up, to increase, (of increments) to be added, to accrue, in post-classical Latin also (transitive) to add to (11th cent.; < ac- ac- prefix + crēscere to grow: see crescent adj.), and partly a variant (with short vowel) of accrease v. (compare e.g. α. forms at increase v., β. forms at decrease v., etc.), with remodelling of the ending after verbs in -esce suffix. With later use compare also accrescence n.

Chiefly Scottish (now rare).
