Correct me if I'm wrong, my Latin is rusty and my English is unreliable,
but I think that the relations between "to succeed" and "the success"
and between "to proceed" and "the process" indicate that originally,
"access" has been a noun more than a verb. (latin accessus and 
accedi/accedere, I believe). At least "to success" is still not a verb
AFAIK :-)
