loyalty
Faithfulness to another
Loyalty is faithful allegiance to a person, group, or cause.
You show loyalty to friends by standing with them, to employers by not jumping ship, to countries by serving their interests.
Loyalty implies steadfastness over time—not just agreement but commitment that persists through difficulty: Her loyalty to the company never wavered.
Brand loyalty describes consumers who stick with familiar products.
