Usage Note
Moralista is a common-gender noun: el moralista for a man, la moralista for a woman, with no form change. It can shade pejorative — calling someone un moralista often implies they are preachy or self-righteous rather than merely ethical. In literary contexts it also refers to an author of moral philosophy, such as the classical French moralistes.
