The word “sullied” is often employed to evoke the idea of corruption—whether of character, reputation, or physical integrity. Writers use it to depict the contamination of purity or honor, as seen when a hero’s unsullied resolve is contrasted with the stain of disgrace [1] or when an untouched virginity is marred by forbidden intimacy [2]. In some works, the term takes on a literal sense, characterizing the dirt or blood that defaces an image or body [3][4]. In historical narratives, it encapsulates how once-pristine legacies become tarnished by disgrace, betrayal, or violent acts [5][6][7], thereby underscoring the profound loss of virtue or respect.
