What is the conceptual opposite of "supererogatory"???
Suberogatory?
So we have three fields:
Morally impermissible= must not do
Morally required= must do
Morally permissible= can do or can not do
Being supererogatory would be helping an old man across the street — it's morally permissible to help or to not help, but you chose to help and so hence, supererogatory.
