indictment
Significado: A formal charge or accusation of a serious crime; figuratively, something that serves as a strong criticism or condemnation.
In the English legal system, an indictment is a formal written accusation charging a person with a serious criminal offence to be tried before a Crown Court. Cases tried on indictment are distinguished from summary offences tried in magistrates' courts. The word is also widely used figuratively to mean a damning criticism, as in 'an indictment of the education system.' Note the silent 'c' in pronunciation: /ɪnˈdaɪtmənt/.

Origen e historia
From Anglo-French enditement, from enditer (to indict, write), from Latin indictare (to proclaim, appoint), from in- (upon) + dictare (to say, compose). The spelling with 'c' reflects an erroneous association with Latin.
