Earworms and Latin Verbs

Late night playing about with words (as you do...):

Confidence - Definition

Noun

  1. The feeling or belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust: "we had every confidence in the staff".
  2. The state of feeling certain about the truth of something.

Synonyms
trust - faith - reliance - belief - credit - credence
