"trust" meaning in Middle English

See trust in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /trust/
Etymology: Long considered a borrowing from Old Norse traust (“confidence, help, protection”), itself from Proto-Germanic *traustą, but the root vocalism is incompatible, and so it is 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”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *deru- (“be firm, hard, solid”). Etymology templates: {{cog|non|traust||confidence, help, protection}} Old Norse traust (“confidence, help, protection”), {{der|enm|gem-pro|*traustą}} Proto-Germanic *traustą, {{inh|enm|ang|*trust}} Old English *trust, {{cog|gmh|getrüste||host}} Middle High German getrüste (“host”), {{der|enm|ine-pro|*deru-||be firm, hard, solid}} Proto-Indo-European *deru- (“be firm, hard, solid”) Head templates: {{head|enm|nouns|g=|g2=|g3=|head=|sort=}} trust, {{enm-noun|-}} trust (uncountable)
