Derivatives to reach English include honest, honesty, honorary [17], and honorarium [17] (which in Latin denoted virtually a bribe paid in order to get appointed to an honorary post).
=> honest, honesty - honour
- chiefly British English spelling of honor; also see -or. Related: Honoured; honouring; honours.
