Root Explanation

Imperfectness is formed from "im-" (meaning not) and "perfect" (from Latin "perfectus", meaning completed or finished) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word refers to the state of not being perfect or lacking completeness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('im-') being added to 'perfect' — this helps you remember that 'imperfectness' means the state of not being perfect.
