Root Explanation

Immaculacy is formed from "im-" (meaning not) and "maculatus" (from Latin, meaning spotted or stained) and the suffix "-cy" (meaning state or condition). The word refers to the state of being without spots or stains, hence pure or flawless.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('im-') having 'spots' ('maculatus') to remember that immaculacy means being in a state of purity or flawlessness.
