From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Borrowed from Latin accūsātīvus.

• IPA(key): /ˈɑ.ky.zaːˌti.vʏs/
• Hyphenation: ac‧cu‧sa‧ti‧vus

accusativus m (plural accusativi or accusativussen, no diminutive)

1. (grammar) the accusative case or a word therein

• accusatief
• vierde naamval

From accūsō (“to accuse, blame”) +‎ -īvus (verbal adjective suffix). As a grammatical term, it is a mistaken calque of Ancient Greek αἰτῐᾱτῐκή (aitĭātĭkḗ), which does not mean “related to accusing”, but rather “related to an effect”. As a noun, it is an abbreviation of the phrase cāsus accūsātīvus (“accusative case”), in which the adjective is masculine because it agrees with the masculine noun cāsus.
