Where this word comes from

From a substantivation of the feminine of Old Catalan empent (the original past participle of empènyer), from Vulgar Latin *impinctus, as an alternative past participle of Latin impingō (instead of the Classical participle impāctus). The Vulgar Latin form would have ordinarily yielded a Catalan *empint, but analogy with other forms of the verb resulted in empent. Compare Italian impinta.
