Look up mistrust in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
Mistrust is the act of believing that a particular party has a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. This can happen in everyday life in situations where the parties otherwise trust each other, but find themselves questioning that trust. Mistrust is different from distrust, in which the lack of trust seems clear to the believer (and usually to the recipient), as in war, though this difference is not mentioned by the Oxford English Dictionary.
