acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration is used to describe the rate at which velocity changes. Speed is another way to say velocity, so a gain or a loss in speed is also known as acceleration.

So, acceleration can be negative or positive. It is positive if velocity is gained (increased) and negative if velocity is lost (decreased).
