Pay it out of respect (6)

I believe the answer is:

homage

(Other definitions for homage that I've seen before include "Formal expression of loyalty to a ruler - pay it" , "Reverent regard" , "Public honour and respect" , "Honour or respect shown publicly" , "Public tribute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
