What does Rumet mean?

Respect; esteem; honour

In Turkish: saygınlık, itibar, onur

Rumet names a social and ethical value rather than an object in nature. Its meaning centres on being respected and held in esteem. It is comparable in meaning to Turkish Onur and İzzet, although that resemblance does not imply a shared origin. The spelling Rûmet more explicitly represents the source word's vowel.
