honorableness
Quality of virtue
Honorableness is the quality of being honorable—possessing integrity, fairness, and moral uprightness.
The word is rarely used; most speakers prefer the shorter *honor* or phrases like acting with honor.
When it does appear, it tends toward formal or literary contexts: The honorableness of his intentions was never in doubt.
