Definition
荣誉 (róng yù) is a noun meaning 'honor, glory' — the public recognition and respect you earn through achievement. It differs from 光荣 (guāng róng), which can be an adjective ('glorious') and often describes a feeling of pride, and from 名誉 (míng yù), which focuses on 'reputation' (good or bad) and is also used in titles like 'honorary professor'.
