Also means
decent
Usage Note
Honesto describes moral integrity and straightforwardness — it is a false friend for English speakers who might expect it to mean only 'honest' in the narrow 'not lying' sense; it also covers 'decent' and 'upright'. The female form is honesta and the noun is honestidad. Sincero is closer to 'truthful' in everyday speech.
Examples
"Es una persona muy honesta y trabajadora."
Natural Translation
She is a very honest and hardworking person.
