This is the definition. It is very detailed, but don't worry. I'll give you an example next. Accented: The relative prominence of a particular syllable of a word by greater intensity or by variation or modulation of pitch and tone. Example: How do you say syllable? Like this? SYL-luh-bull. Yes. You won't catch anyone saying it like: syl-LOW-BILL. That's really the best I can do, and if you still don't get it, the suggestions below can help you. :-)
