Root Explanation

Incorruptible → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "corruptus" (meaning broken or spoiled). The word "incorruptible" means not able to be broken down or spoiled, often referring to moral integrity or purity.

Memory Tip

Think of something that cannot be 'broken down' or 'spoiled' — 'in-' means not, and 'corruptus' means broken. This helps you remember that incorruptible refers to something that remains pure and intact.
