IMPECCABLE Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
2 weeks ago - It comes from the Latin word impeccabilis, a combination of the Latin prefix in-, meaning "not," and the verb peccare, meaning "to sin." Its original meaning hewed close to its root: impeccable meant "not capable of sinning or liable to sin." (It has a rare but pleasingly logical antonym in peccable, meaning "liable or prone to sin.") Peccare has other descendants in English: there is the noun peccadillo, ("a slight offense"), adjective peccant ("guilty of a moral offense" or simply "faulty"), and the noun peccavi, which in Latin literally means "I have sinned" but in English refers to an acknowledgment of sin.

Macula comes from the word for a spot or smudge; it is the dark shadow on the back of your eye that gathers light. Immaculate, by extension, means “spotless,” and has a connotation of cleanliness, eg, a clean record. Impeccable comes from peccare, meaning “to sin.” By extension, impeccable is without error, eg, a performance without mistakes. An impeccable record, therefore, might be a record without any errors in it; but it might accurately record some mistakes (spots or blemishes).

I think you've got it, OP. I might also describe impeccable to be "without fault" as well, in the sense that something seems completely genuine or solid. As opposed to immaculate, also having a connotation of unnaturally perfect.
