o4tuna commented on the word arete
arete is the quality that makes something fit for its purpose. The arete of a soldier is his bravery; the arete of a knife is its sharpness. Although commonly translated as "virtue", virtue has an inaccurate moralistic connotation--"excellence" would be a better, yet still insufficient, translation.
