How it's used
Describes a deep seated moral courage or a refusal to be bullied. It carries a sense of raw, innate integrity that is often associated with standing up for others against injustice. Unlike standard terms for justice, this implies a spirited, almost visceral reaction to wrongdoing.
Examples
He is a person with a strong sense of righteousness.
