Had confidence in (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trusted

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">had confidence in</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('trust' can be a synonym of 'have confidence in')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for trusted that I've seen before include "Reposed confidence in" , "Relied upon" , "Put faith in" , "Have confidence or faith in" , "Banked on" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
