Accessory In Webster's Dictionary

\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}.
