Assigned or attributed a characteristic, quality, or value to something, often based on inference rather than direct evidence.
From Latin imputare 'to bring into account,' from in- 'into' + putare 'to reckon, think.' Originally used in accounting contexts, later extended to attribution of qualities, motives, or statistical values.
In statistics, 'imputed' values are educated guesses used to fill in missing data - essentially, statisticians 'put in' reasonable estimates where information is lacking. The word maintains its original accounting sense of entering values into records!
