What's the difference between cumulative and accumulative?
Cumulative refers to growth or increase by successive additions. That is, someone is adding more to something, one thing after another. This means, often, that the end result comes from having something build up over time, bit by bit. The word accumulative refers to a gradual increase or growth over time.
