vertus

Vertus may refer to two distinct subjects: a linguistic term and a geographical location. In French, vertus is the plural of vertu, translating to virtues in English. The word and its derivatives appear in ethical, theological, and literary contexts. It originates from Latin virtus, meaning courage, excellence, or moral merit, and historically encompasses traits such as prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. In religious and philosophical discourse, vertus denotes moral virtue as a guiding principle for behavior and can appear in expressions signaling personal merit or effectiveness in a task or role.
