Etymology
The word impeachable comes from the verb impeach, which comes from an old French word empecher meaning 'to stop or hinder' and from a Latin idea with ped meaning 'foot', as in pedal. The picture is of 'catching' or stopping someone, and that sense moved into law — so something 'impeachable' is able to be formally charged with serious wrongdoing.
