Definition
Honest, sincere, and open in expressing one's feelings or opinions without pretense.
Etymology
Combines 'frank' (from Old French 'franc' meaning free or liberal) with 'hearted' (from Old English 'heorte'). The phrase literally means having a free, open heart, expressing genuine emotion without restraint or deception.
Kelly Says
The word 'frank' itself comes from the Franks, a Germanic tribe, because they were viewed by Romans as straightforward and bold—so calling someone 'frank' originally meant you thought they had those Germanic warrior qualities of honesty and courage!
