Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of 'moral' (from Latin moralis, relating to character and manners) and 'bankrupt' (from Old Italian banca rotta, meaning 'broken bench', referring to the bench of a money-changer who had failed). The metaphorical extension to ethics and integrity gained widespread currency in the 19th and 20th centuries to describe individuals or institutions completely devoid of moral principles.
