Book Things

"Accessory is hardly a word that needs dressing up, but if you want to add just a spot of formality or irony to it, appurtenance does the job pretty well. Appertain is the most closely-related verb, and from there the meaning pretty much leaps out: an accessory object that pertains to a particular activity."
-Smart people (Just copy anything in quotation marks you find on this website and paste it into Google to find who wrote it, I don't have time to attribute everything- do it yourself)
