Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin verb accelerare, formed from ad- (to) plus celer (swift, quick). Entering Middle English and later modern scientific terminology via French in the 16th century, the term originally denoted simply the act of hurrying or increasing speed, later evolving into a precise physical measurement of the rate of change of velocity.
