BRIBES Meaning and
Definition
-
Bribes refer to illicit payments or offerings made to individuals in positions of power or authority, usually with the intention of influencing their behavior or actions in favor of the person making the bribe.
A bribe can take various forms, such as cash, gifts, favors, or other valuable goods or services. It is often seen as a form of corruption, as it involves using personal gain to manipulate or manipulate others for personal gain. Bribes are generally given to officials, politicians, or any other person who holds a position of power or influence in order to receive certain benefits or favors.
The act of bribery is a serious offense and is illegal in most countries around the world. The acceptance of bribes is considered a breach of trust and is punishable by law. Bribes can have detrimental effects on society, as they undermine fairness, justice, and equality by subverting the proper functioning of institutions and distorting decision-making processes.
Efforts to combat bribery involve implementing and enforcing anti-corruption laws, promoting transparency and accountability in public and private sectors, as well as raising awareness about the negative consequences of bribery. International organizations, such as the United Nations and the World Bank, have also played a significant role in promoting anti-bribery measures and aiding countries in strengthening their legal frameworks to combat corruption.

Etymology of BRIBES
The word "bribes" originated from the Middle English term "bribe", which can be traced back to the Old French word "briber" meaning "to beg", "to borrow", or "to extort". The Old French term, in turn, derives from the Frankish word "brīban" meaning "to plunder" or "to rob". Over time, the meaning of "bribe" shifted and came to refer specifically to giving or receiving something of value dishonestly or illegally to influence someone's actions or decisions. The plural form of the word, "bribes", was later derived from the singular form "bribe".
