Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the late Middle English 'infidel', originating from Latin 'infidelis' (unfaithful, unbelieving), combining the prefix 'in-' (not) and 'fidelis' (faithful, from fides, faith). The suffix '-ic' was later added to form an adjectival descriptor denoting characteristics of unfaithfulness or infidelity.
