Morphology
impeccable = peccable (semi-transparent) = im + pecc + able
The composition 'im-' + 'peccable' directly yields 'not capable of sin', a straightforward negation of the immediate base.
Etymology
Impeccable originally described beings who could not sin, coming from Latin im- 'not' and peccare 'to sin'. That's why in religion it means 'not capable of sin' or morally perfect.
