Etymology
Corupt comes from Latin corruptus, the past participle of corrumpere, meaning to destroy, spoil, or bribe. That verb is built from the prefix com- (together, thoroughly) and rumpere (to break). The word reached Romanian through the same Latin line that gave English corrupt and French corrompu.
