Etymology
The word comes from the Semitic root ṣ-d-q, which carries the idea of truth and sincerity. From it comes صَديق, a friend, meaning one who is true to you. صَداقَة is the abstract noun on the فَعالة pattern, naming the bond itself. The tie to truth reflects an old view that a friend is defined by honesty.
