A quick definition of arraign:

Arraign: When someone is accused of a crime, they are brought to court to hear the charges against them. They are given the chance to say whether they are guilty or not guilty, and if they need a lawyer, one will be appointed for them. The court will also decide if they need to pay bail to be released until their next court date.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To bring a person accused of a crime before a court of law, where the charges against them are read out, and they are given the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. The court will also determine if the accused has a lawyer or if one needs to be appointed, set bail if necessary, and schedule future court appearances.

1. The suspect was arraigned in court yesterday for the robbery that took place last week.

2. The judge arraigned the defendant and set bail at $50,000.

3. After being arraigned, the accused pleaded not guilty to all charges.

These examples illustrate how arraigning works in a court of law. When a person is accused of a crime, they are brought before a judge to hear the charges against them and enter a plea. The judge will also determine if the accused has a lawyer or if one needs to be appointed, set bail if necessary, and schedule future court appearances. This process is known as arraigning.
