  Accuse \Ac*cuse"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Accused; p. pr. & vb.
     n. Accusing.] [OF. acuser, F. accuser, L. accusare, to call
     to account, accuse; ad + causa cause, lawsuit. Cf. Cause.]
     1. To charge with, or declare to have committed, a crime or
        offense; (Law) to charge with an offense, judicially or by
        a public process; -- with of; as, to accuse one of a high
        crime or misdemeanor.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Neither can they prove the things whereof they now
              accuse me.                            --Acts xxiv.
                                                    13.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              We are accused of having persuaded Austria and
              Sardinia to lay down their arms.      --Macaulay.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To charge with a fault; to blame; to censure.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Their thoughts the meanwhile accusing or else
              excusing one another.                 --Rom. ii. 15.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. To betray; to show. [R.]                    --Sir P.
                                                    Sidney.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To charge; blame; censure; reproach; criminate; indict;
          impeach; arraign.
  
     Usage: To Accuse, Charge, Impeach, Arraign. These
            words agree in bringing home to a person the
            imputation of wrongdoing. To accuse is a somewhat
            formal act, and is applied usually (though not
            exclusively) to crimes; as, to accuse of treason.
            Charge is the most generic. It may refer to a crime, a
            dereliction of duty, a fault, etc.; more commonly it
            refers to moral delinquencies; as, to charge with
            dishonesty or falsehood. To arraign is to bring (a
            person) before a tribunal for trial; as, to arraign
            one before a court or at the bar public opinion. To
            impeach is officially to charge with misbehavior in
            office; as, to impeach a minister of high crimes. Both
            impeach and arraign convey the idea of peculiar
            dignity or impressiveness.
            [1913 Webster]
