Commonly used synonyms for principle are (originative) "source" or "beginning".
Commonly used synonyms for principle are (originative) "source" or "beginning".
For example, in some senses a "[[nature]]" is the ''source'' of a thing's action, and an "[[essence]]" is the ''source'' of a thing's being.
For example, in some senses a "[[nature]]" is the ''source'' of a thing's action, a "[[substance]]" is the source of a thing's materiality and an "[[essence]]" is the ''source'' of a thing's being.
A "[[cause]]" is a kind of principle, but the meaning of ''principle'' can be broader than "cause" in at least two ways. Firstly, a principle can be a "deprivation" in the sense of the absence of a thing understood to be present by nature. An example could be the absence of a woman's eye, of which could be spoken as a principle of a prevention of a cause.
