Knighthood, for one

Answer:

HONOR

Hint:

Think of a word that describes a high moral quality often bestowed as a formal recognition, like a title given by royalty.

Explanation:

"Knighthood, for one" hints at honor because a knighthood is a formal title given as a mark of respect or achievement. The word "honor" fits since it represents both the prestige of being knighted and the broader idea of high regard. It’s a straightforward definition clue—no wordplay, just a direct connection between the concept of knighthood and the value it symbolizes.
