ἀνομίαι
anomía
The condition or state of being without law; lawlessness; disregard for established law, custom, or standard. In various contexts, refers both to a lack of adherence to prescribed law and to concrete acts that violate law. It also denotes general unrighteousness or wickedness—particularly as expressed in habitual conduct that opposes accepted moral or divine norms. Thus, ἀνομία can be used in a legal, social, or moral context to indicate the absence of law, the violation of law, or opposition to an expected moral order.
