Definitions

  1. the quality of being orthodox (especially in religion)

Word origin

From Ancient Greek ὀρθοδοξία (orthodoxía), from ὀρθός (orthós, “correct”) + δόξα (dóxa, “way, opinion”). By surface analysis, orthodox + -y.

Used in a sentence

  • […] these tributes studiously ignore another aspect of his life: how, throughout his later career, Mr. Rustin repeatedly challenged progressive orthodoxies.
  • The two concepts are so distinct within Christianity that they have different names — orthodoxy (right belief) and orthopraxy (right conduct).
