"Good" to me is an adjective used to express personal preference that is
sometimes mistakenly used as a noun.

It is good. God is good. That key-lime pie is good. In all of these
sentences, "good" expresses the preference of the speaker.

The question "what is good" is the essence inhe study of meta-ethics.

The above was my comment 6 years ago, recalling a worthwhile course
meta-ethics.

One important to me addition is: "Gud" or"gut" is middle Germanic for
deity, meaning (imho) that "good" itself is derived from culture,
history, custom, folkways and religion.

Supposedly,
"goodbye" is short for
"god be with you," apparently.

I am a subjectivist and relativist, meaning that "good" to me is not
objective and absolute.

Meta-ethics is about theories or definitions of "good," absolute,
realtive, and whatever.

A Southern Baptist fundamentalist ( or any other doctrinaire or
orthodoxy of religion) apparently believes "goodness" is an
objective(?) absolute.
