moderati

Moderati is a term that appears in both Latin and Italian, functioning as a plural form of related adjectives and used to convey moderation. In Latin, moderatus is an adjective meaning restrained, moderate, or temperate. The nominative plural moderati can serve as a substantive meaning “the moderates” or “the restrained ones,” depending on context. In Italian, moderati is the masculine plural form of moderato, meaning “moderate,” and it can describe people who advocate moderation or refer to a group characterized by moderate views. The feminine forms are moderate or moderates, depending on grammatical use.
