Etymology: "Trusters" is simply the plural of "truster," a noun meaning people who trust. It is built from "trust" with the suffix "-er," the same ending found in words like "runner" or "reader," which turns a verb into a noun for one who performs the action. The base "trust" is itself an older English word, so the structure here is a plain, transparent formation rather than a borrowing from another language.

Synonyms: believers, supporters, confiders, reliants, trusters
