What does MORALS mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person's or group's standards of right and wrong conduct, especially as shown in behaviour rather than in stated belief.
Morals in this sense names the working principles someone actually lives by, which is why people speak of a person having loose morals or strict morals rather than simply calling them moral. The word is close in meaning to ethics, though ethics more often names a formal system while morals points to everyday conduct and character. Unlike the adjective moral, which judges a single action or question, morals describes a whole pattern of behaviour built up over time.
How MORALS is used
Common in everyday judgements of character, often in phrases like loose morals or a question of morals.
- The old man was known throughout the village for his strict morals.
- Critics accused the politician of abandoning his morals for votes.
- The novel questions the morals of a society built on slavery.
- She said the scandal revealed his morals more clearly than his speeches did.
- Their morals were shaped by years of hardship on the frontier.
