Mistrust Vs. Distrust
What鈥檚 the difference between mistrust and distrust?
As nouns, mistrust and distrust mean just about the same thing: doubt or suspicion鈥攁 lack of trust.
As verbs, they are also often used interchangeably to mean to regard someone with suspicion鈥攖o not trust them.
Some people think that there is a subtle difference in what each word implies. Distrust, they say, implies that there is a strong reason for the lack of trust鈥攖hat it鈥檚 based on something that a person has already done. Mistrust, on the other hand, is said to be based on suspicion, as opposed to having a basis in someone鈥檚 past actions.
This may be what some people intend to imply when they use each word, but, still, most people use the two of them in just about the same way. Distrust is the more commonly used of the two. The adjective distrustful is also more common than mistrustful.
Here are some examples of mistrust and distrust used correctly in a sentence. In both cases, the other word could be swapped in without changing the meaning.
Example: I have a deep mistrust of landlords.聽
Example: She has distrusted me ever since I lost her book鈥攁nd I think her distrust of me has grown since then.聽
