Trust refers to reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person, organization, or system. It involves expecting that commitments will be honored and actions will align with stated intentions. In relationships, trust develops through consistent, reliable behavior, while in institutions it depends on @transparency and @accountability. It can be specific, such as trusting someone with a task, or generalized, reflecting broader confidence in others. Breaches can quickly erode trust, and rebuilding it often requires deliberate effort.
