is derived from that of the quality. Thus the terms 'whiteness',
'grammar', 'justice', give us the adjectives 'white',
'grammatical', 'just', and so on.

There are some cases, however, in which, as the quality under
consideration has no name, it is impossible that those possessed
of it should have a name that is derivative. For instance, the
name given to the runner or boxer, who is so called in virtue of
an inborn capacity, is not derived from that of any quality; for
lob those capacities have no name assigned to them. In this, the
inborn capacity is distinct from the science, with reference to
which men are called, e.g. boxers or wrestlers. Such a science is
classed as a disposition; it has a name, and is called 'boxing'
or 'wrestling' as the case may be, and the name given to those
disposed in this way is derived from that of the science.
Sometimes, even though a name exists for the quality, that which
takes its character from the quality has a name that is not a
derivative. For instance, the upright man takes his character
from the possession of the quality of integrity, but the name
given him is not derived from the word 'integrity'. Yet this does
not occur often.

We may therefore state that those things are said to be possessed
of some specific quality which have a name derived from that of
the aforesaid quality, or which are in some other way dependent
on it.

One quality may be the contrary of another; thus justice is the
contrary of injustice, whiteness of blackness, and so on. The
things, also, which are said to be such and such in virtue of
