What Does Favour Mean?

The word favour is the British and most common spelling of the word universally. The American spelling of the word favour, which is not accepted and used in as many countries as the British spelling, is favour. A favour is a feeling of favourable regard. It is defined as an inclination to approve (of something).

To favour (something or something) is to treat that person or thing gently or carefully. It also means to privilege or bestow a privilege upon (someone). A favour is defined as an advantage to the benefit of someone or something. If a person wins a case in a court of law, it is said that judgment or verdict was in his or her favour.
Sometimes people tend to favour someone or promote someone over someone else. It is an act of graciousness or kindness shown by someone to another person. A favoured person is one who is considered as the favourite (to achieve something). A party favour is a small gift given in return by the host of a party to each of his or her guests who attend the party thrown by him or her. A favour, in other words, is a personal token (often a piece of embroidered cloth or a ribbon), usually given to a fighter as a mark of friendship or affiliation.
