While all of these nouns describe the respect or esteem that one shows to another, honor implies acknowledgment of a person's right to such respect (•honor one's ancestors; honor the dead). Homage is honor with praise or tributes added, and it connotes a more worshipful attitude (•pay homage to the king). Reverence combines profound respect with love or devotion (•he treated his wife with reverence), while deference suggests courteous regard for a superior, often by yielding to the person's status or wishes (•show deference to one's elders). Obeisance is a show of honor or reverence by an act or gesture of submission or humility, such as a bow or a curtsy (•the schoolchildren were instructed to pay obeisance when the Queen arrived).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word. |
