• (Received Pronunciation) IPA^(key): /vəˈtuː/
• (General American) IPA^(key): /vɚˈtu/

Noun

vertu (uncountable)

1. (art, now historical) The fine arts as a subject of study or expertise; understanding of arts and antiquities. [from 18th c.]
2. (art, now historical) Objets d'art collectively. [from 18th c.]

   • 1976, Niccolò Machiavelli; James B. Atkinson, transl., The Prince [The Library of Liberal Arts; LLA-172], Indianapolis, Ind.: Bobbs-Merrill Company, ISBN 978-0-672-51542-2; reprinted as Indianapolis, Ind.: Hackett Publishing Company, 2008, ISBN 978-0-87220-920-6, pages 69–70:

     All these connotations, even the positive and moral ones, are within the range of significations Machiavelli wants us to hear in “virtù.” For him the word suggests a kind of flexibility that can initiate effective, efficient, and energetic action based on a courageous assertion of the will and an ability to execute the products of one's own calculations. Such calculations are a significant adjunct to his ideas about virtù: they outline what might be called an internal or mental virtù.
4. Moral worth; virtue, virtuousness. [from 20th c.]
