what is the latin root of the word \impeach\?
a empêcher
b malum persicum
c pes
d impedicare

Explanation:

To determine the Latin root of "impeach", we analyze each option:

• Option A: "Empêcher" is French, not Latin.
• Option B: "Malum persicum" means "peach" in Latin, unrelated to "impeach".
• Option C: "Pes" means "foot" in Latin, not related to "impeach".
• Option D: "Impedicare" in Latin means to fetter or impede, and "impeach" has roots related to hindering or accusing, so "Impedicare" is the correct Latin root.

Answer:

D. Impedicare
