To "own up" to something is to admit or confess to it. When people do not pronounce leading Hs, 'own' can be heard as 'hone'.

I think the expression is really "bone up" -- to study, learn, add information/skills, whereas to hone is to narrow in, zero in, get more precise -- I think. I think the two terms get confused.
