PUTREFIED Meaning and Definition

1. Putrefied is an adjective that describes something that has undergone the process of putrefaction. Putrefaction refers to the decomposition or rotting of organic matter, typically caused by the action of bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms. When something is putrefied, it has generally reached an advanced stage of decay, characterized by foul odor, disintegration, and the breakdown of its organic components.

   The process of putrefaction involves the breakdown of proteins into simpler compounds like amines, ammonia, and sulfur compounds. These compounds are responsible for the repugnant smell associated with putrefying substances. Putrefied materials often display a slippery or slimy texture due to the release of enzymes during decomposition.

   The term putrefied is commonly used in various contexts. In the culinary world, for instance, it may refer to food that has spoiled and become unfit for consumption due to bacterial decomposition. In a broader sense, putrefied can describe any organic matter that has decomposed, whether it be biological waste, animal remains, or organic materials left in the environment.

   In a figurative sense, putrefied can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or concept that has deteriorated or become corrupted. This usage emphasizes the negative connotations associated with decay and the loss of vitality or value.

   Overall, putrefied describes the state of something that has decomposed, rotted, or experienced a breakdown of its organic components, typically resulting in a repugnant odor, disintegration, and overall decay.

2. Rotten; decomposed.

Etymology of PUTREFIED

The word "putrefied" originates from the Latin word "putrefacere", which is a combination of "putris" (rotten, decayed) and "facere" (to make). "Putris" is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root word *pu̯et- (to rot, decay), which also gave rise to words like "fester" and "puteal" (a rotting place or cesspool). The Latin word eventually transformed into "putrefiere" in Old French, and later became "putrefy" in English during the 15th century.
