faithfulness
Unwavering allegiance shown
Faithfulness is the quality of remaining loyal, devoted, or true to someone or something over time.
A faithful spouse doesn't stray; a faithful friend stays constant through difficulty.
The word applies beyond relationships—faithfulness to a promise, to one's principles, to the original text in translation.
Her faithfulness to the cause never wavered.
