    Its usual pattern has two slots: the person blamed as the object and the charge introduced by of, as in accuses the company of hiding its losses. The verb can also go without an object, simply making an accusation: she never accuses lightly. There was once a noun accuse meaning "accusation," but it was uncountable and is now obsolete, so accuses is always the verb.
