A more thorough explanation:

Corium redimere

Corium redimere is a Latin term that means to redeem one's skin. In history, it was used to describe a person who paid restitution for an offense they committed.

For example, if someone stole something, they could redeem their skin by paying back what they stole. Another example is if someone caused harm to another person, they could redeem their skin by making things right with that person.

These examples illustrate how corium redimere was used to describe a way for people to make up for their mistakes and take responsibility for their actions.
