Corruptless

/kəˈrʌptləs/ adjective

Definition

Free from corruption; incapable of being corrupted; pure and honest.

Etymology

Formed from 'corrupt' plus the suffix '-less' meaning 'without.' This creates the opposite of corrupt, describing something that cannot be corrupted or is not affected by corruption.

Kelly Says

This word is almost poetic in its rarity—while we have 'incorruptible,' 'corruptless' has a cleaner, more direct simplicity. It appears occasionally in religious texts describing untainted virtue, where the writer wanted to emphasize the absolute absence of corruption.
