Trust

Trust refers to the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, or character of a person or thing. It is a foundational element in relationships, businesses, and societies, often cultivated over time through consistent actions and transparency.

For example, in a personal relationship, one partner may trust the other to keep secrets, while in business, a customer trusts a brand to deliver quality products. In legal cases, trust can manifest in fiduciary relationships where one party is expected to act in the best interest of another.
