Impeach is ultimately from the Latin in + pedica ( fetters), meaning to hobble, hence to impede. It is used to mean contradict or accuse.
Impeachment is the leveling of formal charges against a sitting public official before a proper tribunal.
Impeachment is a process where a charge is brought when officials elected or appointed have been accused of wrong doing in office. It does not always mean they will be found guilty, still less removed from office. Clinton
is a great example. He was impeached but not found guilty or removed from office.
