upright
Erect and honest
Upright means vertical or erect—standing straight up rather than leaning, tilted, or lying down: The fence posts must be perfectly upright.
An upright piano stands vertically against a wall, unlike a grand piano.
Figuratively, an upright person is honest and morally correct: an upright citizen, upright conduct.
The noun refers to a vertical structural element: the uprights of a goal post.
