Origin:
The term "imputable" originated in legal contexts around the 15th century. It was initially used to refer to the ability to hold someone responsible for their actions in a court of law. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the broader sense of being attributable or chargeable to someone.
In the 16th century, the term began to be used in a more general sense to describe something that can be attributed to a person or thing. By the 17th century, it had acquired its modern meaning of being worthy of blame or punishment.
