The quality or state of being able to be bribed; the susceptibility of someone to accept a bribe.
From 'bribable' (able to be bribed, from 'bribe' + '-able') combined with the suffix '-ity,' which forms abstract nouns indicating a condition or quality. 'Bribe' comes from Old French 'bribe,' meaning a piece of bread given to beggars.
The concept of measuring 'bribability' as a quantifiable quality emerged in modern anti-corruption studies—economists and criminologists now study which people, institutions, and contexts have higher or lower bribability, treating it like a scientific variable.
