Usage 1: This is a new use of an old word. As a noun, ¡°faith¡± has been
in English since about 1300 in a number of meanings, including ¡°trust,
confidence¡± and ¡°the true religion; usually = the Christian faith¡± as the Oxford
English Dictionary defines two of its oldest senses. By 1885, it was used as the
first element of the compounds ¡°faith-cure¡± and ¡°faith-healer.¡± But the
adjectival use is a new phenomenon.

Suggested usage: The term is used as a euphemism in contexts where the
First Amendment¡¯s prohibition against the ¡°establishment of religion¡± might
otherwise appear to be violated. It is also used in neutral contexts like the
following: ¡°in every faith tradition,¡± ¡°other faith traditions such as Buddhist,
Hindu, or Muslim,¡± and ¡°some Christian faith tenets can indeed inhibit
dialogue.¡± Generally it is better to be honest and say ¡°religious.¡±

¸»ÇÏ´Â °ÍÀÌ ³ºÀ» °ÍÀÌ´Ù.
Etymology: Old French feid, foi, from Latin fides "trust." The
Indo-European root *bheidh- became Greek peithesthai "to believe" and Germanic
bidan "to await", a verb that developed ultimately into English "bide." Latin
"fides" also underlies fiancé, which originally meant "trusted one" or
"confidant," another word containing the root of Latin "fides."
