A lack of faith, belief, or trust; unfaithfulness or disbelief in religious or spiritual matters.
From dis- (meaning lack or opposite) combined with faith (belief or trust). The term emerged in Middle English to describe loss of religious conviction or betrayal of trust.
Disfaith captures something deeper than mere doubt—it's the active breaking of trust that happens when someone loses their religion or betrays another person's confidence. Medieval writers used this word to describe both apostasy and broken promises.
