acquit
Significado: To formally declare someone not guilty of a criminal charge; also, to conduct oneself or perform in a specified way.
When a defendant is acquitted, they are found not guilty and freed from the charges against them. An acquittal is the opposite of a conviction. The term is also used in the phrase 'acquit oneself,' meaning to perform or behave in a particular manner, as in 'she acquitted herself admirably.' The past tense is 'acquitted' (note the double 't' in British English).
