What does HONOR mean in Scrabble?
noun
Great respect and esteem given to a person for good character, achievement, or position, and by extension a mark of that respect or a source of pride.
Honor works in several related ways: it can name the general quality of moral integrity a person is said to have, the specific respect other people show that person, or a tangible award, such as a medal or title, that marks a particular achievement. The American spelling drops the u found in the British honour, though both describe exactly the same idea and are pronounced alike. As a verb, to honor someone means to show that respect directly, whether through a ceremony, a public statement, or by keeping a promise made to them, as when a company honors a warranty. The word also appears in fixed phrases such as guest of honor and word of honor, where it signals a special, elevated status rather than ordinary politeness.
How HONOR is used
Common in everyday and formal writing; American English uses this spelling where British English uses honour.
