Shalom, Just to give a bit of a deeper understanding of this ancient Semitic root, the root Alef-Meem-Noon initially comes from the meaning of safety (which is what the most basic form of the root still means in Arabic, although the derived forms also mean faith and belief). The concept of being safe, secure, firm, solid, robust is the very basic meaning behind this verb. From this the meaning of faith developed, in that it refers to putting your trust in something which is firm, solid, safe, secure, trustworthy, true.
