Infidel
infidel
- 1460 (adj., n.), from M.Fr. infidиle, from L. infidelis "unfaithful," later "unbelieving," from in- "not" + fidelis "faithful" (see fidelity). In 15c. "a non-Christian" (especially a Saracen); in 16c. "one who does not believe in religion." Also used to translate Ar. kafir, from a root meaning "to disbelieve, to deny," strictly referring to all non-Muslims but virtually synonymous with "Christian." Infidelity is 14c.; to a spouse, 1529.
