A quick definition of alleged:

Term: ALLEGED

Definition: Alleged means something that is said to be true but has not been proven yet. For example, if someone is accused of doing something wrong, they are called an alleged offender until they are proven guilty in a court of law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Alleged (pronounced uh-lejd) is an adjective used to describe something that is claimed to be true, but has not yet been proven or confirmed.

Examples:

  • The alleged thief was caught on camera stealing from the store.
  • The alleged cheating scandal rocked the school and caused many students to question the integrity of their peers.

In the second example, the cheating scandal is alleged because the truth has not yet been fully investigated or confirmed. In the third example, the murderer is alleged because they have not yet been tried and found guilty in a court of law.
