Tutiorism
It means in a course of action which takes the safer moral or ethical route as being probably the best - when no other clarifying or defining facts are there. It is the opposite of Laxism - choosing any route. It is closely linked with doing the least harm. From the Latin comparative of the adjective "safe", tutus, tutior, tutissimus. Pronunced TUT-see-or-ism. Sometimes called Rigorism. Quite a specialist field of Catholic ethics.

Comment: "Although I did not initially request an explanation for the term, it is better for there to be one in the glossary, along with the translated term; hence I am choosing InfoMarex's answer. Thanks to all."
