/ˈmɒrəlɪst//ˈmɔːrəlɪst/

The word "moralist" has its roots in the 15th century Latin word "moralitas," which means "moral" or "moral character." This term was derived from the Greek word "móroōn," meaning "to fashion" or "to shape," and "logos," meaning "word" or "reason." In English, the term "moralist" emerged in the 16th century and originally referred to someone who was concerned with moral issues and ethics. A moralist was typically a person who sought to promote virtue and correct societal wrongs through writings, speeches, or other forms of public discourse. Over time, the term has taken on a slightly different connotation, often implying a didactic or preachy tone. However, at its core, a moralist remains someone who is committed to promoting moral values and promoting a sense of right and wrong in society.
