incorrupt
Free from decay
Incorrupt means free from corruption—morally pure, uncorrupted by vice or dishonesty: an incorrupt judge who couldn't be bribed.
The word also describes physical preservation, especially of bodies that haven't decayed: The saint's incorrupt remains drew pilgrims for centuries.
Less common than its negative form corrupt, incorrupt carries a slightly formal or literary quality.
