To arraign someone is a law-court step: the person is brought into court, told clearly what crime they are said to have done, and asked to say guilty or not guilty. It is not arrest (that is catching them), and it is not the big trial later. News reports use this word; kitchen-table English almost never does. It is formal, legal, and you will hear it most about British and American courts. The g is silent: it sounds like a-RAIN.
提訊、過堂（美式新聞裡常指到庭聽罪名並答辯；台灣的「提訊」不完全等於美國這一步）
組成From Middle English, from old French court language meaning to speak to someone or accuse them in court. Further back it is Latin ad- (to) plus a word from ratio (reason, talk). First recorded in English in the late 1300s. The g in the spelling is silent.
