Pronunciation: [ɐklˈɔ͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The word "accloy" is not commonly used in modern English, but its spelling can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Specifically, the "cc" in the middle of the word represents the sound /kl/, which is a single sound made up of a voiceless velar stop (represented by the letter "k") and a lateral approximant (represented by the letter "l"). The rest of the word is spelled phonetically as it sounds: /əˈklɔɪ/.
Accloy is a verb that refers to the act of consuming or indulging excessively in something, particularly food, which often leads to a sense of excessive fullness or disgust. When one accloys, they become overwhelmed by a certain substance or activity and reach a point of saturation or feeling nauseous due to excessive intake. The term can also encompass a feeling of being overwhelmed or bored by something due to its excessive abundance or repetition.
Accloy is often used in the context of describing a sensation of intense fullness or disgust that arises from overeating or overindulging in rich and heavy foods. It conveys the idea of becoming excessively sated, resulting in a feeling of discomfort or even revulsion. This definition can extend to a general feeling of over-consumption beyond food, where one may become overwhelmed and sickened by anything they have had too much of, such as entertainment or even material possessions.
The term accloy can also be used to describe a feeling of being overwhelmed or bored by an excessive or repetitive presence of something. For instance, a person might accloy on a particular type of music if they listen to it nonstop for a prolonged period, leading to a loss of interest or even a feeling of aversion. In this sense, accloy denotes the point at which excessive exposure or repetition becomes burdensome or tiresome.
The word accloy is derived from the Middle English term acloien, which was influenced by the Old French word acloer. Acloien itself came from the Latin word adcluere, which means to close or shut off. Over time, the meaning of acloien evolved to mean to fill up or satisfy to excess, which is the current meaning of accloy.
