What does INDICT mean in Scrabble?
verb
legal
To charge someone with a serious crime by a formal legal process, usually a grand jury.
To indict is to bring a formal accusation, which is not the same as a finding of guilt. In the United States a grand jury votes on whether the evidence is strong enough to justify a trial, and a yes vote means the person has been indicted. The word is pronounced like "indite" and the two were once spelled alike, which still surprises readers. Figuratively, a failure or system can be said to indict those who allowed it.
