Honor is based on something solid in the past. During the middle ages, the term “honor” did refer to the estate of a person or Nobel and did concern all of its property. The saying “on my honor” was used when the person did put all its estate as a guarantee for a deal or agreement. Slowly the term changed in value to become equal to a person’s reputation. In most countries, during the middle ages, there was no such thing as police to uphold the law. A person’s reputation or honor was the guarantee that a deal will come true and settled in good order. Here also did start a division of people with and without honor.
