Morphology
impeccable = peccable (opaque) = im + pecc + able
The negative prefix 'im-' straightforwardly negates the adjective 'peccable' in a regular, productive way.
Etymology
Impeccable comes from the Latin parts im- 'not' and peccare 'to sin', so it literally meant 'not sinning'. That's why we now call work or manners 'impeccable' when they are perfect or without fault.
