Five

One of my tools in recovery is "word focus". I kinda made it up because I like looking at the dictionary and finding meaning from just reading about interesting words. This one is what I am foucsing on at the moment, have have written a few little essays about:

VIRTUE, dictionary.com

vir·tue ( P ) Pronunciation Key (vûrch)
n.

Moral excellence and righteousness; goodness.
An example or kind of moral excellence: the virtue of patience.
Chastity, especially in a woman.
A particularly efficacious, good, or beneficial quality; advantage: a plan with the virtue of being practical.
Effective force or power: believed in the virtue of prayer.
virtues Christianity. The fifth of the nine orders of angels in medieval angelology.
Obsolete. Manly courage; valor.

I bolded the bit which I think is key to its meaning.

equus

beneficial quality

This would be my choice as it's essence as a word.
