is ethos and ethics the same thing
Etymologically, they both mean the same: ethics comes from the Greek word ethos (á¼Î¸Î¿Ï), which has the same meaning as the Latin word mos (pl. mores) which is the root of the word morality.They both are translated into English with manners or customs.hus, one could also label that branch moral philosophy and still refer to the same. In colloquial usage, ethics is often used to mean applied ethics, which is really only a branch of the entire sub-discipline of ethics (or moral philosophy).
