trial
Meaning
A trial is a formal examination of evidence in a court to determine the guilt or innocence of a defendant, or it can refer to a test of the performance or quality of something.
💡 Be careful not to confuse "trial" with "trial run," which refers to a test of a process rather than a legal proceeding.
