high respect or moral integrity
from Old French honor, from Latin honor
Honour is when you're honest and noble - it's an honor to have it!
Honour codes historically restricted women's autonomy ('female honour' tied to sexual purity/obedience) while men's honour was tied to conquest, agency, and public achievement. Created asymmetric moral standards.
Use 'integrity,' 'reputation,' or 'respect' when referring to personal standing. If historical 'honour' is context (literature, cultural systems), note the gendered power asymmetry it enforced.
