Etymology

The adjective **honorable** comes from Old French *honorable*, borrowed in the 12th century from Latin *honorabilis* “worthy of honor.” Latin *honorabilis* is formed from *honor* “respect, esteem” plus the suffix *‑abilis* (‑able), which turns a noun into an adjective. The French word has kept the same spelling and meaning—“esteemed for virtue or rank”—through the centuries.
