'accentuality' originates from the Latin word 'accentus,' where 'ad-' meant 'to' and 'cantus' meant 'song.'

'accentus' transformed into the Old French word 'accent,' and eventually became the modern English word 'accentuality' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to sing or chant,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'relating to accent or stress in speech.'
