OP Well, the other two tim(orous?)-words bumfuzzled Gurunet, but it does have:
ti·moc·ra·cy (tī-mŏk'rə-sē)
n., pl. -cies.
1. A state described by Plato as being governed on principles of honor and military glory.
2. An Aristotelian state in which civic honor or political power increases with the amount of property one owns.
[Obsolete French tymocracie, from Medieval Latin tīmocratia, from Greek tīmokratiā : tīmē, honor, value + -kratiā, -cracy.]
ti'mo·crat'ic (tī'mə-krăt'ĭk) adj.
Are there any other tim-words in use today that relate to honor and glory?
