ACCUM'BO. Properly denotes the taking a place on a dining coach, in contradistinction to Accubo, which refers to a person already reclining; and in allusion to a single person, as distinguished from Discumbo, which has reference to several persons or the whole company. But these distinctions are not always observed.
