Definition
A person who accuses another; one who makes an accusation or brings charges against someone.
Etymology
From Latin accusans, present participle of accusare. This form preserves the Latin agent noun structure, showing how English borrowed technical terms wholesale from law and formal speech.
Kelly Says
In legal Latin, you had 'accusator' for the accuser, but 'accusant' is the Anglicized version that never quite caught on—showing how some borrowed words thrive while others fade away!
