acceder

/aɡθeˈdeɾ/ · B1 · verb

to get

🚪🔑 Latin ad- (toward) + cedere (go): to go toward, like English access/accede

Acceder comes from Latin accedere, to approach. English has the same root in access and accede. So you either go into something (acceder a una cuenta, to access an account) or go along with a request (acceder a una petición, to agree to it).
