bona-fide
意味: Genuine, real, or authentic; acting in good faith and without intent to deceive.
Bona fide has two related senses: 'genuine' (a bona fide offer) and 'in good faith' (a bona fide purchaser in law). It is widely used in both formal and informal contexts to emphasise authenticity. In legal English, it specifically denotes acting without fraud or deception. The word collocates with 'offer,' 'member,' 'reason,' 'claim,' and 'purchaser.'
