trusts

Has faith in

Trusts is the verb form meaning to have confidence in someone or something: She trusts her instincts, He trusts you with his life.

As a noun, trusts are legal arrangements where property is held by one party for another's benefit—hence trust fund.

In business, trusts were combinations of corporations acting as one entity, often to limit competition: antitrust laws.
