Verdächtigen
suspect
Jemanden für möglich halten, dass diese Person etwas Falsches oder Verbotenes getan hat.
The German word "verdächtigen" is a verb that means "to suspect" or "to accuse." It is derived from the root "d ächtigen," which means "to think" or "to consider," combined with the prefix "ver-," which generally signifies an action change or completion.
Similar words in German include "suspicion" (Verdacht) and "anklagen" (to accuse). The difference lies in that "verdächtigen" specifically involves a notion of suspicion without definitive proof, whereas "anklagen" refers to formally prosecuting or accusing someone of a crime or wrongdoing.
