honor. high estimation. a testimony of high estimation. dignity. reputation. 
dignified respect of character springing from probity, principle, or moral 
rectitude. a duel is not justified by any insult to our honor. honor is also 
employed to signify integrity in a judge, courage in a soldier, and chastity 
in a woman. to deprive a woman of her honor is, in some cases, punished as a 
public wrong, and by an action for the recovery of damages done to the 
relative rights of a husband or a father. vide criminal conversation. 
     2. in england, when a peer of parliament is sitting judicially in that 
body, his pledge of honor is received instead of an oath; and in courts of 
equity, peers, peeresses, and lords of parliament, answer on their honor 
only. but the courts of common law know no such distinction. it is needless 
to add, that as we are not encumbered by a nobility, there is no such 
distinction in the united states, all persons being equal in the eye of the 
law.
