معنی
To be cleared of blame or responsibility.
زمینه فرهنگی
In France, legal terminology often leaks into everyday professional life because of the highly bureaucratic nature of French society. Being 'hors de cause' is a point of pride in a workplace dispute. In Quebec, while the phrase is used, you might also hear 'être blanchi' more frequently in the media, especially in political contexts. Belgian French uses 'hors de cause' in a very similar way to France, particularly in its complex multi-layered administrative systems. In countries like Senegal or Ivory Coast, formal French is often used in official settings. 'Hors de cause' is common in legal proceedings and formal letters.
Use it in emails
If you need to defend a colleague in a professional email, 'Il est hors de cause' sounds much more objective and professional than 'Ce n'est pas sa faute'.
Don't pluralize
Even if you are clearing ten people, it is always 'hors de cause' (singular).

4 سوالYou can, but it sounds very formal. Use 'Ce n'est pas ma faute' for small things.
Not exactly. 'Innocent' is a general state. 'Hors de cause' means you are specifically cleared of a particular problem or case.
The opposite would be 'être en cause' or 'être mis en examen' (in a legal context).
It comes from the legal sense of 'a case' or 'a lawsuit', rather than a simple 'reason'.
