honourableness
Quality of rectitude
The quality of being honourable—possessing integrity, uprightness, and a commitment to ethical conduct.
Honourableness implies consistency between one's principles and actions: His honourableness was evident in how he treated even his adversaries.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, more likely encountered in written than spoken English.
British spelling; the American form is honorableness.
