Word Origin & History
confidant
1610s, confident, "(male) person trusted with private affairs," from Fr. confident (16c.), from It. confidente "a trusty friend," lit. "confident, trusty," from L. confidente, from confidere (see confidence). The spelling with -a- came to predominate 18c. and might reflect the Fr. pronunciation.
