Deboshed

/dɪbɑʃt/ adjective

Definition

Debauched; corrupted; characterized by excessive indulgence or loose moral behavior.

Etymology

Past tense or past participle form of 'debosh,' creating an adjective describing someone or something that has been corrupted or debauched through unrestrained behavior.

Kelly Says

Past participles that become adjectives are one of English's great transformations—'deboshed' takes an action (deboshing) and freezes it into a description of character, the way 'broken,' 'tired,' and 'confused' work.
