Confidence is the faith and/or belief that one will act in a right, proper, or effective way.[1] In addition, it can also involved confidence in one's abilities (See: Self-efficacy).[2] The word confidence comes from the Latin word fidere which means "to trust".

Overconfidence, which is excessive confidence often to a high degree, is called hubris.
