Der, die or das Verdacht? The correct article and plural

Der, die or das?

der Verdacht

masculine noun · suspicion · level B1

The plural

die Verdächte - in the plural, every German noun takes the article die.

Why der?

"Verdacht" doesn't follow any of the 35 gender rules - it belongs to the words you learn together with their article, as one unit: der Verdacht. That's exactly what the app's spaced repetition is for.
