Word origin
It is derived from Greek akoustikos 'relating to hearing' via Latin, where akoust- means 'hear' and the suffix -ico makes an adjective.
Usage tips
- The stress falls on the second syllable, signaled by the acute accent on ú, so writing acustico without the accent is a common misspelling.
