Etymology

First attested in the early 15th century. From Middle English acceden, from Latin accēdō (“approach, accede”), formed from ad (“to, toward, at”) + cēdō (“move, yield”) (English cede). Compare French accéder. Unrelated to ascend, aside from the common ad prefix.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To approach; to come forward; --opposed to recede. [Obs.] T. Gale.
  2. verb To enter upon an office or dignity; to attain.

Etymology [L. accedere to approach, accede; ad + cedere to move, yield: cf. F. accédere. See Cede.]
