Etymology
Orthodoxy comes from the Greek parts ortho- meaning 'straight' or 'correct' and doxa meaning 'opinion' or 'belief', and you can remember it by thinking of an orthodontist who makes teeth straight. So, orthodoxy means the 'straight' or accepted beliefs and practices of a religion or group.
