Etymology
1. 1538, "particular mode of pronunciation," from M.Fr.
accent, from O.Fr.
acent, from L.
accentus "song added to speech," from
ad- "to" +
cantus "a singing," pp. of
canere "to sing" (see chant). Loan-translation of Gk.
prosoidia, from
pros- "to" +
oide "song," which apparently described the pitch scheme in Gk. verse. The decorating sense of "something that emphasizes or highlights" is from 1972. The verb meaning "to pronounce with accent or stress" is first recorded 1530.
2. From Middle French accenter, from Old French accenter, from Latin accentō, from accentus. See: Latin '
accentō'.
