    My latin is a bit rusty but here's an attempt...
    Decus means honor or dignity doesn't it? And then honos is like distinction. Honor on the other hand is like regard or dignity.

    If I remember right, they all come from the same word and basically all mean the same thing, but it depends on what your talking about, which one you use.
