Root Explanation

Imputer is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "putare" (meaning to reckon or consider). The word refers to someone who attributes or assigns something, often blame or responsibility, to another.

Memory Tip

Think of someone 'putting' ('putare') something 'into' ('in-') the account of another — that's why an imputer is someone who attributes responsibility.
