in twelfth night, act i scene 3, Shakespeare writes:

SIR TOBY BELCH
Accost, Sir Andrew, accost.
SIR ANDREW
What's that?
SIR TOBY BELCH
My niece's chambermaid.
SIR ANDREW
Good Mistress Accost, I desire better acquaintance.
MARIA
My name is Mary, sir.
SIR ANDREW
Good Mistress Mary Accost,--
SIR TOBY BELCH
You mistake, knight; 'accost' is front her, boardher, woo her, assail her.
SIR ANDREW
By my troth, I would not undertake her in thiscompany. Is that the meaning of 'accost'?
MARIA
Fare you well, gentlemen.


The meaning of the word 'accost' is a metalinguistic reference to the Italian source. Accostare in italian means: "Accostáre, to accost, to ioine side to side, to approach, to come neere." Florio, 1611.
