srà.
to make rotten; dat: to rot, decay; to rot, decay something-dat
Usage notes
This word is used to describe biological or technical decay, but not for morals or other metaphorical senses we have in English.
The adjectival use is normally with dat as we are talking about a rotting or rotten thing rather than about a thing with the properties of rottenness.
