Accessoire, das noun accessory

Details:

accessory

German "das Accessoire" in this frame is an umbrella term for items that are add-ons the outfit of a Wearer which are not (strictly) necessary, and not necessarily clothing items, e.g. bags, glasses, belts, scarfs, jewelry, etc. The originally French word came into the German language in the 19th century, and it is pronounced like the French noun ['akse swar']. It is used like its English counterpart.

            

Further details:

Word formation:

German speakers sometimes use compound nouns to specify the type of accessory, note that the components of the compound noun are not fused into one word but instead are connected by one or more dashes: "das Leder-Accessoire" ("leather accessory"), "das Must-have-Accessoire" ("must-have accessory"), "das Vorzeige-Accessoire" ("demonstrative accessory"), "das Lifestyle-Accessoire" ("lifestyle accessory"), "das Alltags-Accessory" ("every-day accessory"), etc.

Because of its meaning as add-on, the word "Accessoiry" ("accessory") also appears in other frames, in German as well as in English, depending on the context. For instance, we can talk about home accessories in the sense of decorations like candles or pillows or car accessories like a phone holder.
