Etymology
The word 'impute' has its origins in Latin, coming from the word 'imputare' meaning 'to charge, ascribe'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century, primarily used in the legal context to mean 'to attribute a crime, fault, or wrongdoing to someone'. Over time, its usage expanded to include attributing values in statistical analysis.
