/kənfˈaɪdɚ/ noun

Word Origin From Latin 'fidere' — to trust — with 'con-' intensifying it: to trust completely. A confider is one who confides, who entrusts secrets. The root 'fidere' is the heart of 'confidence', 'confident', 'fidelity', 'fiduciary', and even 'perfidy' (breaking trust). The word 'fiancé' also comes from this root, meaning someone you trust your future to.
