belief

/bɪˈliːf/

nounbe · lief

To remember beLIEF, think: “I be-LIEf? No—I be-LIEV E? No—belief ends with F: a belief is a FACT to you.”

Yes, it's belief. The tricky part is the ending: be + lief (like “leaf”), so it ends with **-ief**, not **-ieve**.

  3. nounReligious faith; a set of ideas held by a group.
