[Latin mōrēs, pl. of mōs, custom; see mē- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: Although educated 19th-century speakers of English would pronounce mores as (môr′ēz) according to the customary pronunciation of Latin in English-speaking countries at that time, 75 percent of the Usage Panel in 2005 found this same pronunciation unacceptable (although 5 percent actually preferred it). Nowadays, the accepted pronunciation is (môr′āz), with a long a as in days and a (z) sound at the end. It is incorrect to pronounce it as a single syllable (môrz), and the pronunciation ending with an (s) sound, which more closely resembles the way the Latin word was actually pronounced by the Romans, may sound pretentious.mores (ˈmɔːreɪz) pl n (Sociology) sociol the customs and conventions embodying the fundamental values of a group or society[C20: from Latin, plural of mōs custom]mo•res (ˈmɔr eɪz, -iz, ˈmoʊr-)
