    An accelerator is the pedal in a car that you press to make it go faster — in American English it's usually called the 'gas pedal,' but 'accelerator' is the standard word in British English and in most technical writing. More generally, 'accelerator' describes anything that speeds up a process, like a business 'startup accelerator' that helps new companies grow quickly, or a 'particle accelerator' used in physics.
