Morphology

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

The adverb straightforwardly means 'in an incorruptible manner' from the adjective 'incorruptible.'

Etymology

Incorruptibly comes from in- 'not' + corrupt 'to spoil', so it paints the picture of something 'not spoiled' — like a relic or file that never rots or changes. That's why something preserved incorruptibly stays intact and pure over time.
