Why “incorruptible” is a great word
INCORRUPTIBLE — [Adjective] Incapable of being bribed or morally corrupted; also, not subject to physical decay. From the Latin in- ("not") and corruptibilis ("corruptible"), from corrumpere ("to destroy, bribe"). Borrowed from Middle French incorruptible in the mid-15th century. Unlike "honest," which suggests a general fairness, or "imperishable," which describes only physical endurance, incorruptible denotes an absolute, unbreachable integrity of both matter and principle. It is the judge refusing the envelope of cash, the saint’s flesh defying the grave, and the one unwavering line drawn in sand—a quality so severe it borders on the inhuman, a monument to the profound solitude of its upkeep.
