Honoring is an emotion that encompasses respect, admiration, and appreciation. Dis-honoring, by contrast, means to show disrespect, disdain, or contempt. Synonyms for dis-honoring include insulting, belittling, disparaging, or mocking. Antonyms for dis-honoring, on the other hand, include honoring, respecting, admiring, praising, or revering. When we show honor, we recognize and appreciate the worth or value of others, whereas dis-honoring puts down or belittles others. Choosing to honor someone can bolster relationships, build trust, and create positive interactions, while dis-honoring leads to negative attitudes and strained social interactions.
