corruptive

/kɝˈəptɪv/ adj

Tending to corrupt.

Word Origin Corrupt comes from Latin corrumpere, literally 'to break together' or 'to break completely' (com- intensive + rumpere 'to break'). The idea is breaking something down morally or physically. Corruptive adds the adjective suffix -ive, meaning 'tending to break down'. The same rumpere root gives us rupture, disrupt, erupt, and interrupt.
