What does ETHIC mean in Scrabble?
noun
A set of moral principles that guides a person's or group's sense of right and wrong, or a single such principle held as a value.
An ethic can describe an entire moral outlook, as when people speak of a professional ethic that governs how doctors or lawyers behave, or it can refer to one specific guiding value, such as an ethic of honesty. The word is closely related to the plural ethics, which usually names the broader field of study or a fuller system of moral rules. Because an ethic shapes everyday choices rather than abstract theory, people often describe someone's actions as reflecting a strong work ethic or a personal ethic of fairness.
