An archaic or rare word meaning to accuse or incriminate someone, or to aggravate a crime.
From Latin 'accriminare', combining 'ad-' (to) and 'criminare' (to accuse of a crime). This is an obsolete form; modern English prefers 'incriminate' or 'accuse'.
This word is basically a fossilized version of modern legal language—while 'accriminate' is nearly dead, it shows how English legal terms evolved from Latin roots that lawyers still use today.
