The word ‘arete’ is a Greek word, usually translated to mean ‘excellence’ in English. But ‘arete’ is most accurately defined as a concept rather than as a single word. Some of the clearer (and shorter) definitions include ‘the striving to reach one’s potential’ or ‘the state of something at its highest quality.’ As a concept, arete can be applied to an action of physical prowess as well as to objects, beings, places, and qualities of intelligence or character.
