the good
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state, with definite article; functioning substantively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The definite article marks a specific quality or instance of goodness, and the masculine singular adjective is rendered substantively as a noun. "The good" preserves the root sense of positive quality or beneficial excellence without restricting it to moral goodness alone. |
