What is an 'honour' in the game of Bridge?

Just reading a book about bridge that is not good at explaining terms.

Is it one of those words that has slightly different meanings depending on how you use it?

Honours are the top five trumps (A,K,Q,J,10 of trump) or the four Aces in a no trump hand. Five trump honours in one hand is worth 150 bonus points. Four trump honours in one hand is worth 100 bonus points. Four Aces in a NT hand is worth 150 bonus points.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it refers to a jack, queen, king, or ace.
