Virtue
Virtue (Latin: virtus, Ancient Greek: ἀρετή ""arete"") is moral excellence. A virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting collective and individual greatness. The opposite of virtue is vice.
