different between indict vs imcriminate

indict

English

Etymology

From Middle English enditen, endyten, from Old French enditer, from Late Latin indict?re, from Latin in- + dict?re. Doublet of indite.

The irregular spelling is due to the word having been borrowed into Middle English from Old French, and not from Latin as was the case with most other descendants of dict?re (but see dight). The borrowed /i?/ regularly shifted to /a?/ in the course of the Great Vowel Shift; the "c" represents a later attempt at graphic Latinisation.

Pronunciation

Rhymes: -a?t
(US) IPA^(key): /??n?da?t/
