A quick definition of honorary:

Term: HONORARY

Definition: Honorary is a word used to describe a title or status that is given to someone as recognition for their good work or service, but it doesn't come with any special rights or duties. It's like getting a certificate or a medal for doing something great, but you don't get any extra benefits from it. Sometimes, when someone retires from a job after serving for a long time, they may be given an honorary title like "emeritus" or "emerita" to show respect for their hard work.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Honorary is an adjective used to describe a title or status that is given to someone as recognition for their merit or service, but without any actual rights, powers, or duties. For example, someone might be made an honorary member of a club or organization, which means they are recognized for their contributions but do not have the same privileges as regular members.

An honorary title or status can be given to someone even if they never actually held that title or status before. For example, a former officer who has retired from their position might be given the honorary title of "emeritus" or "emerita" to recognize their service.

The term "emeritus" is also used to describe a former officer who has retired after serving for an extended period of time beyond what is normal. This is not the same as simply being a former or retired officer, as it implies a higher level of recognition for their service.

Examples:

  • John was made an honorary member of the local Rotary Club in recognition of his many years of community service.
  • After retiring from his position as CEO, David was given the honorary title of "CEO emeritus" to recognize his contributions to the company.
  • The university awarded Professor Smith the title of "professor emerita" after she retired from teaching, in recognition of her many years of service to the institution.

These examples illustrate how honorary titles or statuses are given to recognize someone's contributions or service, but do not necessarily come with any actual responsibilities or privileges. They are a way of showing respect and appreciation for someone's work, without necessarily giving them any additional power or authority.
