Honest and straightforward in speech or manner, without hiding one's thoughts or feelings.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *franc*, meaning free or noble, ultimately from the Franks, the Germanic tribe that conquered Gaul. In medieval Europe, Frankish people and their descendants enjoyed certain privileges and freedoms, so the term came to mean "free" and later "honest" or "candid"—qualities associated with those of free status rather than serfs or slaves.
