####Honarary
👉(especially of a degree) given as an
honour to someone who has not done a course of study:
e.g. She received an honorary doctorate from Exeter University in recognition of her work for the homeless.
👉An honorary position in an
organization is one for which no
payment is made:
e.g. Charities often have a well-known
person as their honorary treasurer.
####Honorific
👉Showing or giving honour or
respect:
e.g. An honorific title.
The most common honorifics in modern English are usually placed immediately before a person's name. Honorifics which can be used (both as style and as form of address) include, in the case of a man, " Mr " (irrespective of
marital status ), and in the case of a woman the honorific may depend on her marital status: if she is unmarried, it is " Miss", if she has been married it is " Mrs ", and if her marital status is unknown, or it is not desired to specify it, " Ms ". Someone who does not want to express a gender.
Other honorifics may denote the honored person's occupation, for instance " Doctor", " Esquire ", "Captain ", " Coach", " Officer", " Reverend " for all clergy and/or "Father" (for a
Catholic , Eastern Orthodox , Oriental Orthodox , or Anglican Christian priest), "Rabbi " for Jewish clergy, or Professor .[a] Holders of an academic
Doctorate such as PhD are addressed as "Doctor" (abbreviated Dr). "Master" as a prefix ahead of the name of boys and young men up to about 16 years of age is less common than it used to be, but is still used by older people addressing the young in formal situations and correspondence.
