Etymology

The noun *honnête* comes from the French adjective *honnête*, which in turn comes from Old French *honeste* (also *honneste*). This adjective descends from Latin *honestus* “honorable, worthy”, a word built on *honos* “honor” plus the adjectival suffix *‑ustus*. In medieval French, *honeste* was used to mean “honest, sincere”, and the noun *honnête* (meaning “honesty, integrity”) developed from that adjectival base.
