What is the meaning of honour?

Answer 1

Honour

While there are many meanings attributed to this "Word"- the following is possibly the least common meaning (which should be the most significant because it) applies to us all and is clearly the "Right" of any reasonable or "Right" minded person.

ADHERANCE TO WHAT IS "RIGHT" OR TO A CONVENTIONAL STANDARD OF CONDUCT

We have Laws which are our duty (to our ourselves, peers and descendants) to Fulfill- including issues of public safety- when an individual/group does not "Honour" the "Codes of practice"?- then it becomes a matter of "Honour" that "Law enforcement" is not apathetic and true to maintaining the (Honourable?)intention in the wordings of the Laws- Because the creation of laws is normally performed by Elected Representatives (the law makers) serving in positions of "Trust" [trust that they conduct their duties with "Adherence" to that which is "Right" or to a "conventional standard of conduct"] Ensuring there is no room for presumption that (the Laws could as easily have been written on tissues) the Laws are Less than of Honourable Intent- So Honouring the Word- So Honouring the Dictionaries possible relationship to the accuracy of the interpretation of the word -

Honour is therefore both a matter of a "duty in common", and an "anticipated standard of behavior/conduct"... Note- Ignorance of the Law is not a defense for any Crime committed
