vindicate

Read a random definition: state law

A quick definition of vindicate:

Vindicate means to prove that someone or something is innocent or correct. It can also mean to protect your rights or interests from being taken away. In legal terms, it means to claim ownership of something and seek recovery through legal action.

For example, if someone is accused of a crime they didn't commit, they may need to be vindicated in court to clear their name. Or, if someone is trying to take away something that belongs to you, you may need to vindicate your ownership through legal means.

Overall, vindicate is a word that is used when someone needs to prove that they are right or defend themselves from false accusations or interference.

A more thorough explanation:

Vindicate (verb) means to clear someone or something from suspicion, criticism, blame, or doubt. It can also mean to assert or defend one's interest against interference or encroachment. In Roman and civil law, it means to assert a legal right to something and seek recovery of it by legal process.

  • The DNA tests vindicated the suspect and cleared him of any wrongdoing.
  • The company sought to vindicate its reputation by taking legal action against the false accusations.
  • The borrower vindicated their interest in court when the lender tried to foreclose on their property.

These examples illustrate how vindicate can be used in different contexts. In the first example, the suspect was cleared of suspicion through DNA tests. In the second example, the company took legal action to defend its reputation. In the third example, the borrower defended their interest in their property through legal means.
