    • Usage notes

    * "This word, as used in law, is spelt accessory'' by Blackstone and many others; but in this sense is spelt ''accessary'' by Bouvier, Burrill, Burns, Whishaw, Dane, and the Penny Cyclopedia; while in other senses it is spelt ''accessory''. In recent text-books on criminal law the distinction is not preserved, the spelling being either ''accessary'' or ''accessory''." - ''Webster, 1913 Since that time this trend has accelerated.
