Etymology
The phrase "to have confidence" combines the verb "have," meaning to possess, with "confidence," derived from the Latin word "confidentia," meaning trust or reliance. The term entered English through Old French and Latin, reflecting the idea of trustworthiness or self-assurance. Did you know? The root "fidere" in Latin means 'to trust,' which is also the source of the word "fidelity."
