Definition
The state of being morally corrupt or the process of becoming morally wicked and evil.
Etymology
From Latin depravatio, derived from depravare. This noun form emerged alongside the verb in Middle English, referring to both the act of corrupting and the resulting condition of moral degradation.
Kelly Says
Medieval theologians used 'depravation' to describe humanity's fallen state—it was a huge theological concept, which is why it has such a heavy, serious sound compared to simpler words like 'badness.'
