        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To Absolve, Exonerate, Acquit.
  
     Usage: We speak of a man as absolved from something that
            binds his conscience, or involves the charge of
            wrongdoing; as, to absolve from allegiance or from the
            obligation of an oath, or a promise. We speak of a
            person as exonerated, when he is released from some
            burden which had rested upon him; as, to exonerate
            from suspicion, to exonerate from blame or odium. It
            implies a purely moral acquittal. We speak of a person
            as acquitted, when a decision has been made in his
            favor with reference to a specific charge, either by a
            jury or by disinterested persons; as, he was acquitted
            of all participation in the crime.
