Cultural Note
In Spanish, 'honesto' can mean both 'honest' and 'decent/virtuous,' depending on context. Historically, it was more associated with moral virtue (especially for women), though modern usage aligns more closely with the English sense of truthfulness. 'Sincero' is sometimes preferred when emphasizing emotional honesty in relationships.
