DEBAUCH Meaning and Definition

  1. Debauch, as a verb, refers to corrupting or leading someone into excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures, particularly of a sexual nature. It involves seducing or luring someone astray from moral or virtuous behavior, enticing them into acts of vice or immorality. To debauch someone is to engage in a deliberate and often manipulative process of encouraging their indulgence in forbidden or illicit activities, often with the aim of exerting control or breaking their moral code.

    Debauch can also be used as a noun, describing a wild and excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures or immoral behaviors. It denotes a period of extravagance, often characterized by a wide array of depraved or hedonistic activities, such as excessive drinking, promiscuity, drug use, or other forms of self-gratification.

    The term "debauch" originated from the Old French word "desbaucher," meaning "to lead astray," which was in turn derived from the Latin "dis-" (away) and "bawdry" (prostitution). It imparts a sense of moral corruption or decay, emphasizing the influence of external forces leading to the abandonment of virtue or propriety.

    Overall, debauch embodies the concept of indulging in immoral or excessive behaviors, often at the expense of one's moral compass, and implies a seductive or manipulative element in encouraging such behavior.

  2. • Excess in eating or drinking: intemperance; lewdness.
    • To corrupt; to vitiate.

Etymology of DEBAUCH

The word "debauch" originated in the late 16th century and was derived from the French word "débaucher", meaning "to entice away from work or duty" or "to lead astray".
