- trust´er noun
Synonyms: trust, faith, confidence,
reliance, dependence. These nouns denote a feeling of certainty that a person
or thing will not fail. Trust implies depth and assurance of feeling that is
often based on inconclusive evidence: The new President said he would try to
justify the trust the electorate had placed in him. Faith connotes unquestioning,
often emotionally charged belief: "Faith and knowledge lean largely upon each
other in the practice of medicine" (Peter M. Latham). "Often enough our faith
beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result
come true" (William James). Confidence, which suggests less emotional
intensity,
frequently implies stronger grounds for assurance: "Confidence is a plant of
slow growth in an aged bosom:
youth
is the season of credulity" (William Pitt). Reliance connotes a confident and
trustful commitment to another: "What reliance could they place on the protection
of a prince so recently their enemy?" (William Hickling Prescott). Dependence
suggests reliance on the help or support of another to whom one is often subordinate:
"I fared like a distressed Prince who calls in a powerful Neighbor to his Aid
. . . when I had once called him in, I could not subsist without Dependence
on him" (Richard Steele).
