I believe the answer is:

title

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an honour' is the definition.
(I know that title is a type of award)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for title that I've seen before include "Sir, or madam" , "Proprietorship" , "Legal possession" , "Name - legal right" , "What could be professor's" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
