BRIBED Meaning and
Definition
-
Bribed is a verb that refers to the act of offering or giving money, gifts, or other valuable advantages to someone in order to influence their behavior or actions, particularly in a way that is dishonest or illegal. It denotes the act of corrupting someone's integrity or loyalty by tempting them with incentives or rewards.
The term often carries a negative connotation, as it implies an unethical or unlawful act aimed at gaining an unfair advantage or obtaining favorable outcomes. Bribing can occur in various contexts, such as politics, business, sports, or daily life interactions, where individuals seek to manipulate others for personal gain.
The act of being bribed compromises the impartiality, objectivity, or the sense of fairness and justice that one should ideally possess in a particular role or situation. When someone is bribed, their decision-making process is tainted by external influences driven by monetary or material interests.
Bribery is generally considered illegal in most jurisdictions and is often punishable by law due to its potential to undermine the integrity and trust in public or private institutions. Anti-bribery laws have been established to combat this corrupt practice, aiming to maintain a level playing field and ensure that individuals in positions of authority remain unbiased and act in the best interest of the common good.

Etymology of BRIBED
The word "bribed" is derived from the verb "bribe". The etymology of "bribe" can be traced back to the Old French word "briber" meaning "beg" or "borrow", which in turn comes from the Frankish word "brīban" meaning "mendicant" or "beggar".
