The noun doctrine means a set of beliefs that are taught and accepted by a particular group.
Synonyms are axiom, principle, teaching, or tradition.
The word origins from Old French (12th century) doctrine meaning “teaching, doctrine”, and directly from Latin doctrina meaning “a teaching, body of teaching, learning”. It comes from doctor meaning “teacher” plus -ina. In Middle English, it could be used generally for “learning, instruction, education.”
