Morphology

impeccability = impeccable (transparent) = im + pecc + able + ity

The noun is a direct nominalization of the adjective 'impeccable' using the productive suffix '-ity'.

Etymology

Impeccability comes from the Latin parts im- ('not') and peccare ('to sin' or 'make a mistake'), so it literally means 'not making mistakes'. That's why impeccability is used for work or behaviour that seems 'without fault' or 'flawless'.
