From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Depravity \De*prav"i*ty\, n. [From {Deprave}: cf. L. pravitas
      crookedness, perverseness.]
      The state of being depraved or corrupted; a vitiated state of
      moral character; general badness of character; wickedness of
      mind or heart; absence of religious feeling and principle.
  
      {Total depravity}. See {Original sin}, and {Calvinism}.
  
      Syn: Corruption; vitiation; wickedness; vice; contamination;
               degeneracy.
  
      Usage: {Depravity}, {Depravation}, {Corruption}. Depravilty
                  is a vitiated state of mind or feeling; as, the
                  depravity of the human heart; depravity of public
                  morals. Depravation points to the act or process of
                  making depraved, and hence to the end thus reached;
                  as, a gradual depravation of principle; a depravation
                  of manners, of the heart, etc. Corruption is the only
                  one of these words which applies to physical
                  substances, and in reference to these denotes the
                  process by which their component parts are dissolved.
                  Hence, when figuratively used, it denotes an utter
                  vitiation of principle or feeling. Depravity applies
                  only to the mind and heart: we can speak of a depraved
                  taste, or a corrupt taste; in the first we introduce
                  the notion that there has been the influence of bad
                  training to pervert; in the second, that there is a
                  want of true principle to pervert; in the second, that
                  there is a want of true principles to decide. The
                  other two words have a wider use: we can speak of the
                  depravation or the corruption of taste and public
                  sentiment. Depravity is more or less open; corruption
                  is more or less disguised in its operations. What is
                  depraved requires to be reformed; what is corrupt
                  requires to be purified.
