impeach

One entry found for impeach.

Main Entry: 1im·peach
Pronunciation: im-'pEch
Function: transitive verb
Etymology: Middle English empechen, from Anglo-French empecher, enpechier to ensnare,
impede, prosecute, from Late Latin impedicare to fetter, from Latin in- + pedica fetter,
from ped-, pes foot -- more at FOOT

1 a : to bring an accusation against

b : to charge with a crime or misdemeanor;
specifically: to charge (a public official) before a competent tribunal with misconduct in office

c : to remove from office especially for misconduct

2 : to cast doubt on; especially : to challenge the credibility or validity of <impeach the testimony of a witness>

- im·peach·able /-'pE-ch&-b&l/ adjective

- im·peach·ment /-'pEch-m&nt/ noun

----------------------

I think most people don't say,
"I'm going to eat peas and then I'm going to eat chicken."

They just say, "I'm going to eat supper."

;)
