A quick definition of culprit:

A culprit is a person who is accused or charged with committing a crime and is found guilty of it. The word "culprit" comes from two words, "cul" meaning guilty and "prit" meaning ready. It was originally used in court to indicate that the accused was guilty and the prosecution was ready to prove it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A culprit is a person who is accused or charged with committing a crime and is found guilty of it.

For example, if someone is caught stealing from a store and is arrested, they would be considered the culprit of the crime. Another example would be if someone is accused of murder and is found guilty in court, they would be considered the culprit of the crime.

The term "culprit" comes from the Latin word "culpabilis," which means "guilty," and the Old French word "prest," which means "ready." In the past, these two words were used together to plead guilty at the beginning of a criminal case.

The examples illustrate the definition of a culprit by showing how a person who is accused and found guilty of a crime is considered the culprit. It is important to note that being accused of a crime does not necessarily mean that a person is guilty, and they are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
