Dyoenergism (from

The term energy is derived from the term energeia, which typically means "activity" or "operation",[1] or more specifically in the "natural energy" sense employed by St. Maximus, a "natural, constitutive power,"^[4] in other words, a capacity for a pattern of activity. The primary difference in the monoenergist controversy of the 5th and 6th centuries was whether energy is to be associated with person, which is one in Christ, or rather with his natures.^[1] Dyoenergism is predicated on dyophysitism ('as we recognize[...] so also we recognize') - each different nature corresponds to a different energeia, as expressed by St. Cyril of Alexandria: "No sensible person would concede that things different in kind and nature possess the same operation."^[5]
