accelerator
Speed-increasing device
An accelerator is something that speeds up a process.
Most commonly, it's the pedal in a vehicle that controls engine power: She floored the accelerator.
In physics, a particle accelerator propels subatomic particles to high speeds for research.
In business and tech, an accelerator is a program that helps startups grow quickly through mentorship and funding.
