faith

Etymology
From (also ), borrowed from, from. Displaced native 🇨🇬, which was also the word for "belief."

Old French had as a final devoiced allophone of  from lenited Latin ; this eventually fell silent in the 12th century. The -th of the Middle English forms is most straightforwardly accounted for as a direct borrowing of a French. However, it has also been seen as arising from alteration of a French form with -d under influence of English abstract nouns in the suffix (e.g. truth, ruth, health, etc.), or as a recharacterisation of a French form like, ,  with the same suffix, thus making the word equivalent to.
