accrued
Gathered over time
Accrued describes something that has accumulated over time, typically through gradual addition rather than a single event.
The term appears most often in financial contexts: accrued interest, accrued benefits, accrued vacation days.
These are amounts that have built up but may not yet be paid or used.
The accrued interest on the bond was substantial.
