Etymology

Calque of Ancient Greek ὀρθοδοξία (orthodoxía, “correctness in doctrine and belief”). From пра́вый (právyj, “right, correct”) +‎ -о- (-o-) +‎ сла́ва (sláva, “glory, glorification; (general) opinion”) +‎ -ие (-ije).

Sense 4, used by some Slavic neopagan groups, was derived from their belief that Orthodox Christianity in Russia emerged from a period where paganism and Christianity coexisted, making Slavic neopaganism the "true" Orthodoxy that supposedly preceded the Christian counterpart.
