Suspicion is an cognition of mistrust in which a person doubts the honesty of another person or believes another person to be guilty of some type of wrongdoing or crime, but without sure proof. In the US, the courts use the term "reasonable suspicion" in connection with the right of the police to stop people on the street. The word comes from Middle-English via the Old French word "suspicion", which is a variation of the Italian word "sospetto" (a derivative of the Latin term "suspectio", which means "to watch").
- The act of suspecting something or someone, especially of something wrong.
- The condition of being suspected.
- Uncertainty, doubt.
- A trace, or slight indication.
- a suspicion of a smile
- The imagining of something without evidence.
