  • Amateur : A person who engages in a pursuit, especially a sport, on an unpaid rather than professional basis.
  • Alibi : A claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act, typically a criminal one, is alleged to have taken place.

Hence, from the given meanings, we find that accomplice is the correct one-word substitute.
