Moral principle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethic

'moral principle' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ethic that I've seen before include "Code of principles" , "System of rules of behaviour" , "Principles accepted by a social group" , "Set of moral values" , "System of principles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, the Newsday, The Independent, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
