Word Origin

From Latin *acceptātiōnem*, accusative of *acceptātiō*, derived from *acceptāre* (to accept), itself from *accipere* (to receive, accept).

Usage Notes

In Italian, 'accettazione' can refer to both the act of accepting and the place where acceptance occurs. The context usually clarifies the meaning.
