Surface Forms

impeccant positive

Morphology

impeccant = peccant (semi-transparent) = im + peccant

Formation is a regular negative prefixation (im- + peccant) so the structure is clear, but the base 'peccant' is rare and unfamiliar to many learners.

Etymology

The word impeccant comes from Latin parts im- 'not' and peccare 'to sin'. So it means 'not sinning' and describes someone who is morally without fault, much like the more common word impeccable.
