Maybe I'm overlooking something but this sense seems to be missing. Fytcha (talk) 18:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
- @Fytcha: This is a bad entry: it's one of the entries where the sense lines are basically lists of synonyms (which usually means we imported it from an old dictionary). I am sure that "open to bribes" is a subset of the existing senses, but I think you are right: in modern usage, there is often a sense like "doing things you shouldn't do in your official position" (police, mayor, etc.), which is more narrow than just "sinful" or "vitiated" (fuck, what an awful word).
