Not a difficult word.

accept, v.

1. a. To take or receive (a thing offered) willingly, or with consenting mind; to receive (a thing or person) with favour or approval, e.g. to receive as a prospective husband. Also, to take or receive with patience or resignation, to tolerate.

I won’t quote all the various shades of meaning that it has, that’s sufficient unto my purpose.
