Sharp accent (5)

I believe the answer is:

acute

I believe this is a double definition.

'sharp' is the first definition.
(I know that sharp can be written as acute)

'accent' is the second definition.
(acute accent is a kind of accent)

(Other definitions for acute that I've seen before include "far from chronic" , "Short and severe" , "Incisive" , "less than right" , "Extremely sharp or intense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
