Term of the day

Imputado / Procesado / Acusado

Defendant, at three stages

Spanish marks where a person stands in the process: imputado once a charge is intimated, procesado once proceedings formally open, acusado once accusation is filed. English says 'defendant' throughout.

Origin
All three from Latin: imputare, to charge to an account; procedere, to go forward; accusare, to call to account.
Note
Collapsing them into 'defendant' is usually right, but in a document about procedural posture the distinction is the point.
