Word origin
品德 (pǐndé, "moral character") is formed from 品 (pǐn, "quality") and 德 (dé, "virtue"), linking the qualities seen in a person with ethical goodness.
Usage tips
- This noun describes an established moral quality rather than a single kind deed or a temporary mood, because repeated conduct makes the judgment meaningful.
