accusative absolute
accusative absolute n. [In use with reference to the classical languages, after post-classical Latin accusativus absolutus (1559 or earlier with reference to Latin, 1581 or earlier with reference to Greek).

(a) (in ancient Greek) such a construction involving the participle of an impersonal verb, equivalent to the genitive absolute; (b) (in German) an adverbial phrase formed from an accusative noun or pronoun followed by an (adjectival or non-finite verbal) adjunct; (c) (in post-classical Latin) a construction equivalent to, and used instead of, the classical ablative absolute.
