corruptibility

/kɚɹˌʌptəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state of being corruptible

Word Origin From Latin rumpere 'to break' with the intensive prefix com- — so corrupt literally means 'completely broken'. The idea of moral decay comes from this sense of something shattered. The same root gives us rupture (a break), erupt (break out), interrupt (break between), and bankrupt (broken bank). Corruptibility is the quality of being breakable.
