==Description==
 
The term "humility" is derived from the [[Latin]] word "humilitas", a noun related to the adjective "humilis", translated not only as "humble", but also alternatively as "low", or "from the [[earth]]", and "humus", humid.[1] Because the [[concept]] of humility addresses intrinsic self-worth, it is emphasized in the realm of [[religious]] [[practice]] and [[ethics]] where the motion is often made more precise and extensive.
