probity
含义: The quality of having strong moral principles; complete honesty and integrity, especially in professional or public life.
Probity is a formal and somewhat elevated word most frequently encountered in discussions of governance, judicial conduct, and financial regulation. It implies not merely the absence of corruption but a positive commitment to ethical behaviour. The word collocates naturally with 'financial,' 'professional,' and 'personal,' and appears regularly in parliamentary debates, regulatory reports, and legal judgments. It is stronger than 'honesty' and more specific than 'integrity,' suggesting a tested and proven moral character.
