apapradāna

 In Sanskrit, "apapradāna" (अपप्रदान) means a bribe, derived from the compound of "apa" and "pradāna."

Etymology and Composition: The word apapradāna is a tatpurusha
compound, combining "apa", which often conveys a sense of 'away',
'wrong' or 'mis-', and "pradāna", which means 'giving' or 'offering'. 
Together, the term literally conveys the act of giving something
inappropriately, which is understood as a bribe

Grammatical Form: In Sanskrit, apapradāna is a neuter noun (denoted 
as -nam), and its derived forms include apapradānam (अपप्रदानम्). 
It is commonly used in contexts involving unethical or illicit offerings
intended to influence decisions or actions.
Wisdom Library

Contextual Use: The term appears in Hindu texts and legal or ethical 
commentaries to indicate the offering of a bribe or illicit gift. It may be
contrasted with pradāna, the straightforward act of giving, reflecting 
the moral distinction between a proper gift and a corrupt inducement.
Wisdom Library

In summary, apapradāna specifically refers to a bribe, emphasizing 
the negative or improper nature of the gift being offered. This 
definition is consistent across multiple Sanskrit dictionaries and 
sources that outline its usage and compound formation
