Etymology
From Middle English faith, fayth, feith, feyth (also fay, fey, fei ("faith"); > English fay (“faith”)), borrowed from Old French fay, fey, fei, feit, feid (“faith”), from Latin fid?s (faith, belief, trust; whence also English fidelity), from f?d? (“trust, confide in”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *b?id?-, zero-grade of *b?eyd?- ("to command, persuade, trust"; whence also English bide).Displaced native Old English geleafa (“faith, religion”), which was a cognate of Dutch geloof (“permission”), which is survived in English leave (“permission”).
Old French had [?] as a final devoiced allophone of /ð/ from lenited Latin /d/; this eventually fell silent in the 12th century. The -th of the Middle English forms is most straightforwardly accounted for as a direct borrowing of a French [?]. However, it has also been seen as arising from alteration of a French form with -d under influence of English abstract nouns in the suffix -th (e.g. truth, ruth, health, etc.), or as a recharacterisation of a French form like fay, fey, fei with the same suffix, thus making the word equivalent to fay +? -th.

Each time, from the secret places of the American heart, came forth the faith they could not see or that they could not even imagine. It brought us victory. And it will again.
