Good faith is a term used to describe honesty, sincerity, and a genuine intention to act in a trustworthy and fair manner regardless of the outcome of the interaction. It involves being honest, trustworthy, and sincere in our actions and words and not acting in a way that is deceptive or malicious.
In human interactions, good faith (Latin: bona fidēs) is a sincere intention to be fair, open, and honest, regardless of the outcome of the interaction. Some Latin phrases have lost their literal meaning over centuries, but that is not the case with bona fides, which is still widely used and interchangeable with its generally accepted modern-day English translation of good faith. It is an important concept within law and business. The opposed concepts are bad faith, mala fides (duplicity) and perfidy (pretense).
