I must disagree with you there. Honour is treating others with compassion, being respectful, honest and fair. Honour is a fundamental truth that is part of every decent human being.
What I suspect you are talking about (so-called 'clean fighting') isn't honourable, that's stupid. When you're fighting for your life you do whatever it takes. Even I know that.
As long as you're fighting for a good reason (such as self-preservation), and not because you enjoy inflicting suffering on others, then you are honourable.
As a noun: A leading or primary principle, rule, law, or article, which serves as the groundwork of a system; essential part, as, the fundamentals of linear algebra.
As an adjective: Pertaining to the foundation or basis; serving for the foundation. Hence: Essential, as an element, principle, or law; important; original; elementary; as, a fundamental truth; a fundamental axiom.
Sorry, honor's not fundamental. It's appreciated and valued by some, but hardly compulsory for all.

Meh, nowadays more people are concerned with looking good to the public via looks and money rather than honour.
