From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 [gcide]:
Accessory \Ac*ces"so*ry\ (#; 277), adjective [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.
