Honing means in the true sense of the word to sharpen. When related to natural stone to hone means to sharpen the image of the stone by honing off a micron of the stone either using a diamond or chemical method. So in other words if you had some etching on the surface of natural stone by shaving a few microns of the stone off we hope to get rid of the etching by hiding it (if its not too deep). It is a little more complicated than that but thats basically it. A good analogy is imagine when you were a kid and pulling off a layer of rough skin when you were in the bath you have virgin skin underneath

As kev say's basicly just the smoothing process of stone tiles etc etc....

This might help as well

Honed or Polished?

The images give a representation of the difference between a honed finish and a polished finish. The stone is identical, it's just the finish that differs.
The stone on the left hand side has been honed, this means it is ground flat by a mechanical process and left with a matt/satin finish - if it were paint it would be described as eggshell.
The stone on the right has been honed and then polished, it is machined for a longer period of time using finer abrasives until the surface is highly shiney and reflective. - if it were a paint it would be described as high gloss.
