Honor Definition from Government Dictionaries & Glossaries
Honor Definition from Social Science Dictionaries & Glossaries
Honor is not a virtue. It is the essential quality that accrues to a man when other people view them as being virtuous--i.e. they honor them. The drive for honor earns a knight or man-at-arms renown , his fame, his good name. It is always a very strong motivator for some soldiers. Honor in a personal sense is often confused with such ‘public’ honor, but I say rather that this is not honor but integrity.
Honor Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Honour or honor (see spelling differences; from the Latin word honos, honoris) 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.
