The word orthodox is from Greek ὀρθός ("right", "correct", "true", "straight") + δοξία (from "δόξα", meaning "glory"). In English, this term is often mistranslated to mean "right opinion", as "doxia" is mistaken to come from "dokein" (meaning "to think"). 'Orthodox', in the English sense, is generally used to mean the adherence to accepted norms, more specifically to creeds, especially in religion.[2] It usually refers to "conventions". However, "orthodox", in its original sense, refers to those who keep the faith of the original church: the Orthodox Church. "Orthodox" then refers to the people of the first church, who "give correct (straight) glory to God." But though retaining the original faith, Orthodox worldly life differs in some aspects from the original customs of the Bible. Orthodox Churches in Slavic-language countries (Macedonia, Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria, etc.) use a word derived from Old Church Slavonic, Правосла́виѥ (pravosláviye) to mean orthodoxy. The word derives from the Slavonic roots "право" (právo, true, right) and "славить" (slávit, to praise, to glorify), in effect meaning "the right way to praise God".
