Etymology Origin:
The word traces back to Latin "impeccabilis" (flawless), combining "im-" (not) + "peccare" (to sin). Originally theological (referring to Christ’s sinlessness), it evolved to describe perfection in secular contexts. The adverb form "impeccably" emerged in English to emphasize faultless execution.
