Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'impurus', a combination of the prefix 'in-' (meaning 'not') and 'purus' (meaning 'pure' or 'clean'). Entering Middle English via Old French in the late 14th century, the word initially denoted physical defilement or contamination before broadening to abstract senses such as moral or conceptual corruption.
