What does ACCUSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To say that someone has done something wrong or illegal.
To accuse is to name a person as responsible for a fault or crime, either formally in a court or loosely in an argument. The usual pattern is "accuse someone of something", and the claim need not be proven. It differs from blame in that an accusation is put to the person directly or made in public. The word reached English through Latin and French from a root meaning to call to account.
