trustingly

/ˈtɹəstɪŋli/ adv

In a trusting manner.

Word Origin The word trust comes from Proto-Germanic 'traustam' meaning confidence or protection, and its PIE root *deru- means firm, solid — the same root that gives us tree (something firm and steadfast) and durable. So trust is about being solid and reliable. Trustingly is the adverb form: doing something with trust. Related words like entrust, distrust, and trustworthy all build on that idea of firm reliance.
