beschuldigen

Etymology
From Middle Dutch beschuldigen, from Old Dutch *biskuldigon, from Proto-West Germanic *biskuldigōn, equivalent to schuld + be- -igen. Replaced older Middle Dutch beschulden by influence of Middle Dutch schuldich (modern Dutch schuldig). Compare Old English besċyldigian (whence Middle English be-schyld), West Frisian beskuldigje, German Low German beschülligen, German beschuldigen.
