LOL! Hypertext Webster Gateway: "alleged" From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913) Allege \Allege"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Alleged; p. pr. & vb. n. Alleging.] [OE. aleggen to bring forward as evidence, OF. esligier to buy, prop. to free from legal difficulties, fr. an assumed LL. exlitigare; L. ex + litigare to quarrel, sue (see {Litigate}). The word was confused with L. allegare (see {Allegation}), and lex law. Cf. {Allay}.] 1. To bring forward with positiveness; to declare; to affirm; to assert; as, to allege a fact. 2. To cite or quote; as, to allege the authority of a judge. [Archaic] 3. To produce or urge as a reason, plea, or excuse; as, he refused to lend, alleging a resolution against lending. Syn: To bring forward; adduce; advance; assign; produce; declare; affirm; assert; aver; predicate. From WordNet (r) 1.6 (wn) alleged adj 1:declared but not proved; "alleged abuses of housing benefits"- Wall Street Journal* 2: doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help" [syn: {alleged(a)}, {so-called}, {supposed}] "The story of the alleged attack on Mrs. Broaddrick has been circulating for years. She has refused to comment until now." She speaks out only Apre's Impeachment Trial...hmm. I don't believe her.
