Honour
Honour (also
honor in American English, see
spelling differences; from the
Latin word
honor) is an abstract concept entailing a perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects both the social standing and the self-evaluation of an individual or corporate body such as a
family,
school,
regiment or
nation. Accordingly,
individuals (or corporate bodies) are assigned worth and stature based on the harmony of their actions with a specific
code of honour, and the moral code of the
society at large.
