Ethics and Morals

"Are ethics and morals interconnected?"

First of all, yes they definitely are, and to be more specific, I believe that ethics is a part of morals. I don't know the exact definitions so I could be wrong, but my idea is that when someone states the stance of an action, they say morally "right" or "wrong", implying that the word is neutral and just related to right and wrong. However, when using the word "ethical", one normally says just "ethical" for positive and "unethical" for negative, which says that the word "ethical" is a word for morally right. Therefore, ethics is only a more specific section in morals.
