Etymology

The term 'accruing' stems from the Latin word 'accrescere', meaning 'to increase' or 'to grow'. This word combines 'ad-' (to) and 'crescere' (to grow). The usage of 'accrue' in English dates back to the late 14th century, primarily in legal and financial texts. Over the centuries, it has evolved to encompass various contexts related to growth or increase in a monetary sense, including finance, accounting, and economics. The concept of accruing allows businesses and individuals to recognize growth in financial assets or liabilities over time, rather than strictly through transactional measures.
