C

indict, indite (vv.) 
 
The same root, meaning "to write down," gives us both words. They are ho哈 mophones, both pronounced in-DEIT, 

but indict means "to bring formal charges, especially from a grand jury," 

and indite is a partly archaic word, or at least an old-fashioned one, meaning "to compose, to write down, to create in a literary sense." (The variant endite is entirely archaic.)
