A single thing or matter that is morally indifferent or neutral; one instance of something that is neither good nor bad in itself.
Greek singular form of 'adiaphora,' from 'a-' (not) + 'diapherein' (to differ or matter), used to refer to one indifferent matter or thing.
While 'adiaphora' is the general category of neutral matters, an 'adiaphoron' is one specific neutral thing—like whether you eat bread or rice with dinner, which the Stoics would say is a perfect example of something that simply doesn't matter morally.
