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.
