The word "acquitted" means that a person has been officially declared not guilty of a crime in a court of law. When someone is acquitted, it means the judge or jury found there was not enough evidence to prove they committed the crime, so they are cleared of the charges.

Example:

• After the trial, the defendant was acquitted of all charges.
• She was acquitted because the evidence did not support the accusations against her.

If you want, I can also explain how it’s used in sentences or give more examples!
