Word origin

Borrowed from Middle French imputer, from Latin imputō (“to bring into the reckoning, charge, impute”).

Used in a sentence

  • The teacher imputed the student's failure to his nervousness.
  • Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault, / If mem’ry o’er their tomb no trophies raise, / Where thro’ the long-drawn isle and fretted vault, / The pealing anthem swells the note of praise.
  • I impute my improvement more to the kind attentions of Lord Allerton, who is my companion still, and will not, I think, leave me, than to the sea air.
