good faith
Good faith ((ラテン語:bona fides)) is fair and open dealing in human interactions. This is often thought to require sincere, honest intentions or belief, regardless of the outcome of an action. While some Latin phrases lose their literal meaning over centuries, this is not the case with ''bona fides''; it is still widely used and interchangeable with its generally accepted modern day translation of ''good faith''.〔Garger, John. "Translating Arguendo and Bona Fide from Latin to English." ''Bright Hub Education''. Bright Hub Inc., 5 Jan 2012. Retrieved 6 Feb 2015.〕 It is an important concept within law, philosophy, and business. The opposed concepts are bad faith, ''mala fides'' (duplicity) and perfidy (pretense). In contemporary English, the usage of ''bona fides'' (note the "s") is synonymous with credentials and identity. The phrase is sometimes used in job advertisements, and should not be confused with the bona fide occupational qualifications or the employer's good faith effort, as described below.
==''Bona fides''==
''Bona fides'' is a Latin phrase meaning "good faith". Its ablative case is ''bona fide'', meaning "in good faith", it is often used as an adjective to mean "genuine". It is often misspelled: "bonafied", as if it were the past tense of an imaginary verb: "bonafy".〔Brians, Paul. "Bonafied". ''Common Errors in English Usage''. Washington State University, Nov 2013. Retrieved 06 Feb 2015.〕 While today ''fides'' is concomitant to faith, a more technical translation of the Latin concept would be something like "reliability", in the sense of a trust between two parties for the potentiality of a relationship. In ancient Rome ''bona fides'' was always assumed by both sides, had implied responsibilities, and both legal and religious consequences if broken. Fides was one of the original virtues to be considered a religious "divinity" in Roman paganism.
