Call before a court to answer an indictment (7)
I believe the answer is:
arraign
'call before a court to answer an indictment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for arraign that I've seen before include "Complain about" , "Act against" , "Accuse, find fault with" , "Accuse publicly" , "Accuse of a wrong" .)
