It involves sharing one's secrets, concerns, or personal experiences with another person, usually with the expectation of receiving empathy, understanding, or support.

Etymology of CONFIDING

The word "confiding" comes from the verb "confide", which has its roots in Latin. The Latin word "confidere" is derived from the prefix "com-" meaning "together" and "fidere" meaning "to trust". Therefore, "confide" originally meant "to place trust in, to rely on". Over time, it evolved into an adjective, giving us "confiding", which describes someone who is trusting or open in revealing their thoughts, feelings, or secrets to another person.
