Charity can correspond to several words in Latin, depending on its original sense in English.

Offering sympathy (and perhaps support) to the poor or otherwise disadvantaged is misericordia.

Relief for the indigent is liberalitas or benignitas.

In the common expression Faith, Hope and Charity the meaning of charity is closest to love; so the word here is caritas.
