Information
has gloss	(noun) an effort above and beyond the call of duty supererogation
has gloss	eng: Supererogation (Late Lat. supererogatio, payment beyond what is due or asked, from super, beyond, erogare, to pay out, expend, ex, out, rogare, to ask) is the performance of more than is asked for, the action of doing more than duty requires. Supererogatory, in ethics, indicates an act that is good but not morally required to be done. It refers to an act that is more than necessary, when another course of action, involving less, would still be an acceptable action. It differs from a duty, which is an act that would be wrong not to do, and from acts that are morally equivalent. Supererogation may be considered as performing above and beyond a normative course of duty, in order to further benefits and functionality.
