Özet:

This study focuses on the meaning of the moral word in the framework of the classical Arabic dictionaries and aims to provide an ethymological-semantic analysis of the concept. Moral comes from the Arabic root -l-ḳ and this root does not carry an element that is directly ethical. -l-ḳ roots are associated with taḳdīr, which is the main meaning of this roots. In the classical dictionaries, morality is understood and defined as the generally rooted nature and character of man from creation. This understanding is largely associated with the classical moral drawing based on virtue ethics. The dictionary meaning of ethics is in the use of this word in classical religious, philosophical and literary texts.
