ΤΟΥΣἈΡΕΤΗΣ, τουσἀρετης
TOUSARETĒS, tousaretēs
Sounds Like: ah-reh-TAYS
Translations: of virtue, of excellence, of goodness
From the root: ἈΡΕΤΗ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of 'ἈΡΕΤΗΣ' (aretēs), which is the genitive singular form of the noun 'ἀρετή' (aretē). 'Ἀρετή' means 'virtue,' 'excellence,' or 'goodness.' The initial 'ΤΟΥΣ' part is likely a transcription error or a combination of words that should be separate, as 'ΤΟΥΣ' is typically the masculine/feminine plural accusative of the definite article 'the' or the masculine plural accusative of the demonstrative pronoun 'these'. In its correct form, 'ἈΡΕΤΗΣ' would be used to indicate possession or origin, such as 'of virtue' or 'belonging to excellence.'
