Morphology

incorruptibly = incorruptible (transparent) = in + corrupt + ible + ly

The adverb is a regular formation from the adjective 'incorruptible' and means 'in an incorruptible way.'

Etymology

Incorruptibly starts with in- meaning 'not' and the part corrupt meaning 'to spoil' or 'make dishonest', as in corruption. So to act incorruptibly is to be 'not dishonest' and to be unable to be changed or bought.
