Corruption is the effect or act of corrupting someone or something by obtaining advantage over others by means deemed illegal or unlawful. Etymologically, the term "corruption" came from the Latin corrupus, which means "the act of breaking the pieces," that is, breaking down and spoiling something. Normally corrupt people do things that affect in a bad way normal people, but in the most ways they are not even discovered.
