Etymology of MISTRUSTED

The word "mistrusted" is a derivative of the base word "mistrust".

The term "mistrust" can be traced back to the Middle English period, where "mistrusten" was used. It is a combination of the prefixes "mis-" and "trust", where "mis-" means "wrong" or "ill", and "trust" refers to confidence or belief. The Old English predecessor of "trust" is "treowian", which means "to believe, trust, or have confidence in".

As a result, "mistrusted" came into existence as the past tense form of "mistrust", indicating a lack of trust or suspicion towards someone or something.
