The lie that outsources trust to someone who never signed up for it.
means Being unfaithful to a partner by breaking a sexual or romantic commitment you agreed to keep.
from From Latin infidelitas, built from in- ('not') and fidelitas ('faithfulness, loyalty'), itself from fides ('trust, faith'). Fides is the same root that gives us 'fidelity,' 'confide,' and 'fiduciary' — all words about trust placed and trust kept. 'Infidelity' simply names the moment that trust is broken, though in English it first described religious disbelief before narrowing, by the 1600s, to the more intimate betrayal we mean today.
