Latin Virtute or Virtus

Hello,

I have been reading many latin texts and have came upon an interesting doubt. I have seen the word virtute used many times although when I look for a definition of the word a lot of times the word virtus comes up with the same meaning.

Does anyone know the actual diference inbetween the two?

Thank You
Alexandre

My Latin has gone rusty, but virtus is the base form, and virtute is a grammatical case of it (I forget what it's called).

"De virtute" = "of virtue" (a very, very bad translation of virtus).

And vir = a male, of course.

Well ! Latin language is so different when considering Cicero's language with for instance V th latin language...

Would be interesting to have some quotations or sentences in order to let us know which kind of "latin" is used there...

agree with Joakim Apr 1, 2011

Virtus = nominative, that is subject case
Virtute = ablative, that is complement case
