Ethhos (ήθος) is a Greek word originally meaning ‘the place of living’ that can be translated into English in different ways. Some possibilities are ’starting point’, ‘to appear’, ‘disposition’ and from there, ‘character’. From the same Greek root originates the word ethikos (ηθικός), meaning ‘theory of living’, and from there, the modern English word ‘ethics’ is derived.
