Origin: From Latin honorem.

Usage Note

Honor is written without the 'u' that English 'honour' has, following the Latin spelling more closely. The expression en honor a la verdad means 'to be honest, in fairness'. The plural honores is used in formal phrases like hacer los honores (to do the honours). The h is always silent.

Examples

"Fue un honor conocerte."

Natural Translation

It was an honour to meet you.
