Moralität (English spelling)

…In other words, the way is almost synonymous with ethics as the principle that establishes human morality, and the state of having mastered it is virtue, but morality, while used almost synonymously with ethics, strongly implies virtue.

The word ēthos is, first, usually used in the plural ēthē, meaning a familiar place, residence, or hometown; second, also usually used in the plural, meaning the customs and practices of a group; and third, the individual's moral consciousness, moral feelings, attitudes, character, or morality itself, which are cultivated by such customs and practices. …
