ACCUMULATE Meaning and Definition

  1. Accumulate is a verb that refers to the act of gradually gathering or collecting something over time. It involves the progressive increase or buildup of a particular substance, amount, or object, resulting in a growing accumulation. This can be achieved through the process of adding layer upon layer or gradually amassing and storing items or resources.

    In a literal sense, accumulate can describe the act of physically gathering and piling up objects or materials. For example, one can accumulate a collection of books, accumulate a stack of papers, or accumulate a heap of sand. However, this term is not limited to physical objects alone.

    Accumulate can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of collecting or amassing intangible things such as wealth, knowledge, experience, or even emotions. For instance, an individual might accumulate wealth by saving money or investing wisely. In terms of knowledge, one can accumulate understanding or expertise by consistently learning and gaining new information or skills in a particular field.

    Furthermore, the term can also denote the gradual increase or build-up of something negative or unwanted. For instance, one may accumulate stress, debt, or clutter.

    Overall, accumulate involves the gradual and continuous gathering, amassing, or building up of something physical or abstract over a period of time.

  2. • To heap or pile up; to collect or gather together; to increase greatly.
    • Heaped; collected.
