Impurple is a verb that refers to the act or process of turning or becoming purple or purplish in color. The term combines the prefix "im-" meaning "in" or "into" with the noun "purple." It specifically applies to objects, substances, or living organisms that acquire a shade of purple or exhibit purplish hues.
The process of impurpling can occur naturally or artificially. It often describes the change in color of certain fruits, flowers, or plants when they ripen or mature. For instance, berries such as grapes, blueberries, or blackberries impurple as they undergo chemical changes during the ripening process. Additionally, some flowers display impurpling as they mature, like lavender, violets, or orchids.
Impurpling can also happen through artificial means, such as dyeing fabrics or coloring artworks. Textiles or clothing items can be impurpled by using dyes or pigments specifically formulated to achieve a purple shade. Similarly, artists can impurple their paintings or drawings by using purple pigments or blending different colors to create a purple hue.
Overall, "impurple" encompasses the transformation or presence of purple or purplish colors in various contexts, both natural and artificial. It describes the change or acquisition of this particular color, adding richness, vibrancy, or beauty to objects, substances, or living organisms.

The word impurple is derived from the combination of the Latin prefix in- meaning in or into, and the English word purple, referring to the color purple. The prefix in- indicates the process of making or causing, similar to how imbue means to cause to be filled or saturated. Thus, impurple can be understood as to make or cause something to become purple.
