What does TRUST mean in Scrabble?
noun
Firm belief in the honesty, reliability, or ability of someone or something.
Trust builds slowly, usually through a pattern of kept promises and honest dealing, and it can collapse in a single moment if that pattern is broken. In business and law, the same word names an arrangement in which one party manages property or money for the benefit of another, a sense quite different from ordinary confidence between friends. Large companies once called monopolistic combinations trusts, which is why the phrase antitrust law still uses the word today. Despite these varied uses, every sense of trust traces back to the same core idea of relying on someone or something without needing constant proof.
