Did You Know?

The word impeccable has been used in English since the 16th century. It derives from the Latin word impeccabilis, a combination of the Latin prefix in-, meaning "not," and the verb peccare, meaning "to sin." Peccare has other descendants in English. There is peccadillo, meaning "a slight offense," and peccant, meaning "guilty of a moral offense" or simply "faulty." There is also peccavi, which comes from Latin, where it literally means "I have sinned"; in English the word functions as a noun meaning "an acknowledgment of sin."

自16世纪以来，impeccable「无懈可击」这个词已在英语中使用。它源自拉丁文impeccabilis，是拉丁文前缀in-（表示“ not”）和动词 peccare（表示“犯错”）的组合。 Peccare还有其他英语后裔。有peccadillo（意为“a slight offense「轻微犯错」”）和 peccant（意为“guilty of a moral offense「犯有道德错误」”）或简称为“a slight offense「有过失的」”。还有peccavi，来自拉丁语，字面意思是“I have sinned「我犯了错」”。在英语中，该词用作名词，意为“an acknowledgment of sin「承认错误」”。
