Morphology
accumulation = accumulate (semi-transparent) = accumulate + ion
Formed by nominalizing 'accumulate' with '-ion'; the accounting sense is a domain-specific application but the basic 'gathering' meaning is preserved.
Etymology
Accumulation in finance comes from the same Latin root cumulare meaning 'to heap', so it helps to imagine profits being 'piled up' inside the company rather than paid out. That's why financial accumulation means profits added to the company's capital to make it grow.
