etickými

Etickými is the instrumental plural form of the Czech adjective etický, meaning "ethical" or "moral." It is used to describe actions, policies, standards, or practices that are performed or defined in an ethical way. The form appears when the modified noun is in the instrumental case and in plural, for example with phrases like etickými zásadami (with ethical principles), etickými pravidly (by ethical rules), or etickými normami (by ethical norms).

Morphology and usage notes: etický has the stem etic- and takes the instrumental plural ending -ými, yielding etickými. The form agrees with nouns in number and gender in the instrumental plural; it is commonly used with plural noun phrases to express ethical conduct across disciplines such as business, law, journalism, and philosophy.

Etymology: etický derives from etika, which in turn comes from Greek ethos, through Latin ethicus, and into Czech as a base for forming related terms. The word is widely used in discourse surrounding morality, standards, compliance, and professional conduct.
