   Syn: Irreproachable; sinless; unblemished; inculpable.

   Usage: Blameless, Spotless, Faultless, Stainless. We
          speak of a thing as blameless when it is free from
          blame, or the just imputation of fault; as, a
          blameless life or character. The others are stronger.
          We speak of a thing as faultless, stainless, or
          spotless, only when we mean that it is absolutely
          without fault or blemish; as, a spotless or stainless
          reputation; a faultless course of conduct. The last
          three words apply only to the general character, while
          blameless may be used in reverence to particular
          points; as, in this transaction he was wholly
          blameless. We also apply faultless to personal
          appearance; as, a faultless figure; which can not be
          done in respect to any of the other words.
          [1913 Webster]
