覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず impeccable を「非の打ちどころのない」という1語で固め、その -ly 版が impeccably と押さえる。perfectly も「完璧に」だが、impeccably は特に細部・作法・身なりまで整っていて、外から見ても欠点を指摘できない感じ。be dressed impeccably, behave impeccably, an impeccably clean room のように、服装・振る舞い・管理状態でよく出る。見た目が incredibly と少し紛らわしいので、こちらは impeccable 系の副詞だと結び付ける。
First fix impeccable in your mind, then add -ly to make the adverb impeccably. It is close to perfectly, but it often describes clothes, behavior, or cleanliness with no visible fault. Think of common phrases like dressed impeccably or an impeccably clean room.

impeccably の語源・成り立ち Etymology
impeccablyはラテン語in-「〜でない」+ peccare「罪を犯す」から来たimpeccableに、副詞語尾-lyが付いた形です。原義は「罪や落ち度を犯しえない」で、そこから「非の打ち所なく完璧に」という意味になったと考えると腑に落ちます。関連語はpeccadillo、peccant。
This word comes from impeccable + -ly. Impeccable goes back through French to Latin impeccabilis, from in- "not" and peccare "to sin" or "make a mistake." The original idea was "unable to do wrong," which later became the sense of being completely flawless. Related English words include peccadillo and peccant.
