From [Moral]

…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. Both morality and ethics are nowadays used more as translations of modern European words (for example, English morality, ethics, German Moralität, Sittlichkeit, Ethik, French morale, éthique), but these words are usually derived from the Greek ethos or ēthos, or the Latin mores (plural of mos). 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. …
