the invisible currency you can't spend but can absolutely go bankrupt on
means The quality of holding to your principles and earning the respect of others through integrity, fairness, and keeping your word.
from From Latin honor (also spelled honos), meaning 'esteem, dignity, public office.' It traveled through Old French honor into English, where the British kept the 'u' and Americans later dropped it. The same root flowers into 'honest,' 'honorary,' and 'honorable' — a whole family built on the idea of being held in good regard.
