A quick definition of acquitted:

Term: ACQUITTED

Definition: When someone is acquitted, it means they have been found not guilty of a crime they were accused of. It's like being given a clean slate and being absolved of any wrongdoing. It can also mean being released from a debt, like if someone owed money but was later found to not have to pay it back.

A more thorough explanation:

Acquitted, adj.

Judicially discharged from an accusation; absolved.
Released from a debt.

Example 1: The defendant was acquitted of all charges after the jury found him not guilty.

Example 2: The bank acquitted the borrower of the remaining debt on the loan.

These examples illustrate the two different meanings of the word "acquitted". In the first example, the defendant was found not guilty and therefore was absolved of the accusation against him. In the second example, the borrower was released from the remaining debt on the loan, meaning they no longer owed any money.
