A bribe-taker is someone who receives a bribe. This means they take money or gifts in exchange for doing something they shouldn't or for not doing something they should. It's not a good thing to be a bribe-taker because it's dishonest and can be illegal.
Definition: A bribe-taker is a person who receives a bribe.
For example, if a police officer takes money from a driver to overlook a traffic violation, the police officer is a bribe-taker. Similarly, if a government official accepts money to award a contract to a particular company, that official is also a bribe-taker.
The examples illustrate the definition because in both cases, the person is receiving money in exchange for doing something they should not be doing. This is illegal and unethical, and it undermines the integrity of the system.
