What does FAITH mean in Scrabble?
noun
Complete trust or confidence in someone or something, especially without needing proof; also, strong religious belief.
Faith can rest on a person, as when someone keeps faith in a friend's honesty even without hard evidence, or on an idea, plan or institution that others trust will hold up under pressure. In religion, faith describes a deep, often central belief in a god or set of teachings, accepted through conviction rather than scientific demonstration, and the word also names a particular religion itself, as in the Christian faith. Beyond religion, faith shows up in everyday phrases like good faith, describing honest, sincere intentions in a deal or agreement. Losing faith in someone or something means that trust has been shaken or worn away over time.
