   Growing; that which by growth is added.

   Etymology: from accretion.

   If the motion be very slow, we perceive it not: we have no sense of the accretive motion of plants and animals: and the sly shadow steals away upon the dial; and the quickest eye can discover no more but that it is gone. Joseph Glanvill, Scepsis Scient.
