moral consciousness
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS); denotes a state or faculty functioning as the subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Moral consciousness" preserves the root idea of "knowing together" (συν- + εἴδω) as an inner, co-aware knowing that evaluates one’s actions. The nominative feminine singular form denotes the state or faculty itself as a substantive concept. |
