Standing – honest (7)

I believe the answer is:

upright

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'standing' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'honest' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for upright that I've seen before include "Vertical like rugby goal post" , "Erect - honest" , "deserving respect" , "Honest (like a piano?)" , "In an erect position" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
