大约公元1200年,源于盎格鲁-法语和古法语的 " vertu ",意为 "道德生活和行为; 一种特定的道德卓越",来源于10世纪古法语中的 " vertu ",意为 "力量、实力、精力; 道德力量; 品质,能力",源于拉丁语中的 " virtutem "(属格 " virtus "),意为 "道德力量、高尚品德、善良; 阳刚之气; 勇气、勇敢(在战争中); 卓越、价值",源于 " vir "(源自 PIE 根词 " *wi-ro- ",意为 "人")。

尤其是(在女性中)指 "贞操、性纯洁",始于1590年代。短语 " by virtue of "(公元13世纪早期)保留了 "效力" 的中古英语的另一种意义。14世纪的《威克里夫圣经》使用 " virtue " 而非 KJV 中的 " power "。" seven cardinal virtues "(14世纪早期)分为自然(公正、谨慎、节制、勇气)和神学(希望、信仰、慈善)。 " make a virtue of a necessity "(14世纪晚期)是对拉丁文 " facere de necessitate virtutem " [耶罗姆] 的译文。
