bankruptcy

Bankruptcy（/ˈbæŋkrʌptsi/）是英語名詞，指因無力償債導致的經濟實體破產狀態，也可引申為道德或信譽的徹底喪失。其複數形式為bankruptcies，英語發音為[ˈbæŋkrʌptsi]。

該術語在法律領域特指通過法定程式宣告債務違約的司法狀態，包含破產清算、重整等法定流程，常見於企業或個人財務崩潰案例。相關術語如bankruptcy court（破產法院）、bankruptcy petition（破產申請）體現程式化特徵，短語file for bankruptcy（申請破產）為典型操作表述。道德層面常以moral bankruptcy（道德淪喪）形容抽象價值的缺失。

其制度起源可追溯至歐洲中世紀商業規範需求，1542年英國《破產法》首次系統定義破產行為。現代英美法系逐步完善為兼具清算與重整的複合制度，如bankruptcy law（破產法）等術語印證其在成文法中的長期演化。
