This paper argues that one understands what Aristotle means by character θō (eethos) by understanding xohat Aristotle means by habit ϵθō (ethos). As evidenced initially in the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle explicates the relation between habit (ϵθ) and moral or ethical virtue (ηθικ) and thus also with character (θō). Thus, the sense in which ηθικ means moral or ethical virtue and θō means character is understood within the context of θō or habit. Aristotle sees character (ηθō) as reflecting neither accidental nor isolated behavior, but as habitual behavior.
