Morphology
impute = im + pute
Although it appears to be im- + pute, 'pute' is a Latin combining form (not a standalone English word) and the prefix is not the productive English negative, so learners cannot derive the meaning from the parts.
Etymology
Impute comes from the Latin parts im- 'into' and putare 'to reckon', the same root you see in compute. In statistics this becomes a simple picture: to impute a missing number is to put an estimated value 'into' the empty spot.
