Why “appeach” is a great word
APPEACH — [Verb] To bring a formal accusation against someone for a crime. From Anglo-Norman apescher, a rare variant of Old French empescher ("to hinder, impede, accuse"), from Latin impedicō ("to fetter, entangle, hinder"). Unlike "impeach," which now denotes a formal charge against a public official, or "inform," which implies a secretive delivery of evidence, to appeach is the broader, archaic act of laying a public charge. It is the rustle of a parchment indictment unrolled, the cold clink of a shackle being readied, and the shadow of a pointing finger falling across a courtroom floor—the moment a private grievance is irrevocably forged into a public fact, entangling the accused in the law's web.
Etymology
