    [Noun]  | "ac*com*plice" | \ ə-ˈkäm-pləs \


    1: one associated with another especially in wrongdoing


    Origin: 1584 ;

     Borrowed from Anglo-French acomplice, alteration of complice "associate" {mat|complice|} ;

      * Note : The source of initial a(c)- is unclear. The earlier notion that a- represents fusion of the indefinite article cannot be maintained given the much earlier occurrences of the word in Anglo-French (in a 1384 petition of the Drapers guild, and in vol. 2 of the Rotuli Parliamentorum [1279-1377]). The suggestion that complice has been assimilated to accomplir, "to fulfill, etc.," (see: {accomplish|accomplish}) is not very compelling semantically.;
