+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''accessiō''' ''f'' (genitive accessiōnis); third declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''adcessiō''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|accēdō|-tiō]], from the verb “to approach”,^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010) a compound of [[m|la|ad-|t=to]] and [[cēdō|t=to go, withdraw]].^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan reports Lubotsky's derivation of ⟨cēdō⟩ from [[ine-pro|*ḱiesdʰ-|t=to drive away; go away]], cognate with [[sa|सेधति|tr=sedhati|t=to drive, chase away]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) who asks “what business have you coming into this council?”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is approaching or coming to, and in medicine the onset or attack of a fever, as in Celsus.^(OLD 2012) Above all it is the fact of having something added, an increase in size, value or degree, as Cicero's increases of fortune and rank, and ''accessiōnem facere'' is to make progress.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) It is also the thing added, an extra or bonus payment, as in Cato, in law an additional period of possession, in medicine a complication, and an appendage or appurtenance, as Livy's Epirus, always a small appendage of Macedonia.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “entrance, admission, addition, accession”.^(Stelten 1995) In medieval Latin it is also a mill-race, an appurtenance, and succession.^(Niermeyer 1976) English ''accession'' is from it in the 1580s.^(Etymonline)
