confía

Confía is a Spanish verb form derived from confiar. It functions as the present indicative third-person singular form (él confía) and as the affirmative second-person singular imperative (tú confía). It is used to express trust or reliance, for example: Confía en mí.

Etymology: The verb confiar comes from Latin confidere, from con- “with” and fidere “to trust,” through medieval Spanish. Related verbs include fiar; the noun confianza means “trust, confidence.”

Usage notes: Confía is typically followed by en to indicate what is trusted: confía en alguien o algo. The word carries a positive or reassuring tone and is common in everyday speech as well as religious or motivational language. The accent on í is required to maintain the correct stress: confía.
