What does MORAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Concerned with the principles of right and wrong behaviour, or judged according to such principles.
Calling a question moral marks it out from a purely legal or practical one, since it asks whether an action is good or bad rather than merely allowed or effective. The same root gives the noun a moral, the lesson a story is meant to teach, which is why people speak of drawing a moral from a fable even though the adjective itself describes conduct, not the story.
