This might be a double definition.

'cash' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with ownership as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'credit?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for honour that I've seen before include "Reputation" , "Be faithful to; glory" , "Award conferred as a mark of respect" , "Show respect or bestow rewards on" , "Grace (with a presence)" .)
