I came up with a new term the other day while playing a card game with Jess. She was teaching me a a new game and so I didn’t understand all the rules right away. One time, I missed something that I could have done. Instead of taking the points as she had every right to do, she told me what I should have done and then let me go back. She was generous. But since she was teaching, she was also honest. She was showing generhonesty.
generhonesty \ˌje-nə-ˈrˈä-nəs-tē\ verb, 1 to show generosity when not required to when it would be considered the honest thing to do
