I don't think adempt is a word. Couldn't find it in my dictionary. How about addict?
I was able to locate adempt in a few on-line dictionaries but nothing in paper and ink format.
Oddly they all use the same wording:
Definition of Adempt
A`dempt´ Pronunciation: å`demt´; 215
p. p. 1. Taken away.
Without any sinister suspicion of anything being added or adempt.
I am showing the one from webster-dictionary.net
(and SpellCheck doesn't acknowledge the word)
