The verb to accent means to accentuate or specifically enhance, or to stress a word syllable. The noun accent is similarly a stress or prominence (as in pronunciation or in music. It also refers to any of various marks or punctuation. In language, it is a set of pronunciations particular to a region or ethnic group.

Examples:

"The fair was designed to accent the economic gains of the state."

"A table or lamp may accent the decor of a room."

"The accent in the word 'deny' is on the second syllable."

"Place an accent on the stressed syllable."

"He spoke with a French accent."
