corruptibility
Susceptibility to bribes
Corruptibility is the quality of being susceptible to corruption—whether moral compromise, bribery, or physical decay.
The word usually describes people or institutions that can be swayed from integrity: The corruptibility of local officials made reform impossible.
Less commonly, it applies to things that spoil or degrade over time.
