Etymology

s-142

GENTLE_dictionary_trust-4

From Middle English trust (“trust, protection”).

s-143

GENTLE_dictionary_trust-5

Long considered a borrowing from Old Norse traust (“confidence, help, protection”), itself from Proto-Germanic *traustą, but the root vocalism is incompatible, and now it's considered a reflex of an unattested Old English *trust, from a rare zero-grade proto-Germanic variant of the same root also attested in Middle High German getrüste (“host”).

s-144

GENTLE_dictionary_trust-6

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deru- (be firm, hard, solid”).

s-145

GENTLE_dictionary_trust-7

Akin to Danish trøst (“comfort, solace”), Saterland Frisian Traast (“comfort, solace”), West Frisian treast (“comfort, solace”), Dutch troost (“comfort, consolation”), German Trost (“comfort, consolation”), Gothic trausti (trausti, “alliance, pact”).
