–verb (used with object) 

1. (of a grand jury) to bring a formal accusation against, as a means of bringing to trial: The [grand jury] indicted him for murder.

—Related forms

indictee, noun

indicter, indictor, noun 





C



indict, indite (vv.) 

 

The same root, meaning "to write down," gives us both words. They are ho哈 mophones, both pronounced in-DEIT, 



but indict means "to bring formal charges, especially from a grand jury," 



and indite is a partly archaic word, or at least an old-fashioned one, meaning "to compose, to write down, to create in a literary sense." (The variant endite is entirely archaic.)
