1. An increase in growth, particularly by accessions externally. The growing together of parts naturally separate, as the fingers or toes. The adhering of property to something else, by which the owner of one thing acquires the right to another, as when a legacy is left to two persons, and one of them dies before the testator, the legacy devolves to the survivor by right of accretion.
