Did you know?
The word "impeccable" has been used in English since at least 1531. It derives from the Latin word "impeccabilis," a combination of the Latin prefix "in-," meaning "not," and the verb "peccare," meaning "to sin." "Peccare" has other descendents in English. There is "peccadillo," meaning "a slight offense," and "peccant," meaning "guilty of a moral offense" or simply "faulty." There is also "peccavi," which comes from Latin, where it literally means "I have sinned," and which is used in English as a noun meaning "an acknowledgment of sin."
