A set of ten laws or commandments; specifically, an alternative term for the Ten Commandments.
From deca- (ten) + -log (from Greek 'logos' meaning word or law). The term combines the Greek prefix for ten with a suffix indicating rules or pronouncements.
Decalog is an older, rarer synonym for decalogue—both refer to the Ten Commandments, but decalog appears in historical religious texts and philosophical discussions about foundational moral principles!
