(Bona Fide)

The term "bona fide" is a Latin phrase meaning "in good faith." It is used to describe something that is genuine, sincere, or real, without any intention to deceive. For example, a bona fide offer is an honest proposal made with sincere intention, not a scam. In legal or official contexts, it signifies authenticity and earnestness. Essentially, if something is labeled bona fide, it is trustworthy and made or done honestly, reflecting genuine intent or quality.
