honestidad

/onestiˈdad/ · B2 · noun · f

honesty

🤝 honestidad = honest + idad (-ity): the state of being honest

Spanish honestidad comes from Latin honestas, meaning honor or good repute. Notice it looks almost like English honest plus the ending -ity. The silent h is the same in both languages, so say it as o-nes-ti-DAD.
