Word origin

The word 'accuse' entered the English language in the 14th century from Old French 'acusare', which came from Latin 'accusare' meaning 'to call to account'. The verb has retained its core meaning of charging someone with a wrongdoing, but has also evolved to include blaming someone without solid evidence.
