    it is now usually agreed [thattrust] cannot be explained as a loan from ON (cp. OIceltraustr ‘trusty’,treysta ‘to make trusty, trust’) but must be referred to a zero-grade derivation on the same PGmc root, which happens not to be recorded in OE; see e.g. OED s.v.trust adj., d’Ardenne (1961: glossary s.v.trusten), Hoad (1985: 139–40).
