\Ac*ces"so*ry\ (#; 277), a. [L. accessorius. See
{Access}, and cf. {Accessary}.]
Accompanying as a subordinate; aiding in a secondary way;
additional; connected as an incident or subordinate to a
principal; contributing or contributory; said of persons and
things, and, when of persons, usually in a bad sense; as, he
was accessory to the riot; accessory sounds in music.
Note: Ash accents the antepenult; and this is not only more
regular, but preferable, on account of easiness of
pronunciation. Most orho["e]pists place the accent on
the first syllable.
Syn: Accompanying; contributory; auxiliary; subsidiary;
subservient; additional; acceding.
\Ac*ces"so*ry\, n.; pl. {Accessories}.
1. That which belongs to something else deemed the principal;
something additional and subordinate. ``The aspect and
accessories of a den of banditti.'' --Carlyle.
2. (Law) Same as {Accessary}, n.
3. (Fine Arts) Anything that enters into a work of art
without being indispensably necessary, as mere ornamental
parts. --Elmes.
Syn: Abettor; accomplice; ally; coadjutor. See {Abettor}.
