Amorality

This post was very similar to the synonym and antonym post, and I got a bit confused. Were you looking for synonyms and antonyms for the following *words* or was this in fact a repeat of another post? Thanks!

amorality:

synonym - unprincipledness
antonym - ethicality

psychopathic:

synonym - unbalanced
antonym - balanced

I think you meant we have to make a sentence with those two words. Here it is.

The psychopathic killer has no amorality.

Sorry, everyone. That was my mistake. I meant to ask for a sentence that used both words.

Yousa, you have gotten it backwards.

A psychopath has no morality.

So you might want to say "The psychopathic killer is amoral."

I've corrected the post.
