INCULPATE Meaning and Definition

1. Inculpate is a verb that means to accuse or implicate someone in a wrongdoing or crime. It refers to the act of assigning blame or responsibility for a particular offense or violation. When an individual is inculpated, they are being charged or held accountable for their alleged actions.

   To inculpate someone requires presenting evidence, facts, or testimonies that link the person to the crime or wrongdoing. This can involve proving their direct involvement, such as through eyewitness accounts or surveillance footage, or establishing a connection through circumstantial evidence that suggests their guilt. Inculpating individuals may occur during a criminal investigation, court proceedings, or through public accusations.

   The act of inculpation is not limited to legal contexts. It can also be associated with more general situations where blame or responsibility is attributed to someone for any negative or problematic outcome. For instance, one might inculpate a person for causing disruption in a group project or for being a catalyst in a relationship breakdown.

   However, it is important to note that inculpation should not be equated with definitively proving someone's guilt. Inculpating someone merely suggests their involvement or culpability, and it is subject to scrutiny, legal processes, and the principle of "innocent until proven guilty."

2. • To blame: to censure.
