Did You Know?

Bona fides looks like a plural word in English, but in Latin it is a singular noun that literally means “good faith.” When bona fides entered English, it at first stayed very close to its Latin use, and it also kept its singular form—for example, “a claimant whose bona fides is unquestionable.” But in the 20th century, use of bona fides began to widen, and it began to appear with a plural verb in certain contexts, such as “the informant’s bona fides were ascertained.”

Bona fides 在英语中看起来像复数名词，但在拉丁语中它是单数名词，字面意思是“good faith「真诚」”。当 bona fides 进入英语时，起初与拉丁语用法非常接近，并且也保留了单数的形式——例如，“a claimant whose bona fides is unquestionable.”。但到了 20 世纪，bona fides 开始扩大使用范围，并开始在某些用语中与复数一起出现，例如“the informant’s bona fides were ascertained”。
