Accent, stress (8)
I believe the answer is:
emphasis
I believe this is a double definition.
'accent' is the first definition.
(I know that accent can be written as emphasis)
'stress' is the second definition.
(I know that stress can be written as emphasis)
(Other definitions for emphasis that I've seen before include "Stress given to a word" , "Importance; priority" , "Stress, accent" , "Special importance or prominence given to something" , "Stress laid on, eg, words" .)
