У семантичних валентностях "федерації" - справа також якнайглибинніша щодо культури індоевропейців (чого псевдоросси - ніколи не збагнуть):

Probably Germanic *bidan, to await (< “to await trustingly, expect, trust”), abide, abode, from Old English bidan, to wait, stay. 2. fiancé, FIDUCIAL, FIDUCIARY; AFFIANCE, AFFIANT, AFFIDAVIT, CONFIDANT, CONFIDE, CONFIDENT, DEFIANCE, DEFY, DIFFIDENT, from Latin fidere, to trust, confide, and fidus, faithful. 3.

Zero-grade form *bhidh-. faith, fay3, fealty, fideism, fidelity; infidel, perfidy, from Latin fidês, faith, trust. [Pokorny 1. bheidh-

Language and Culture Note The root bheidh-, “to trust,” whose English derivatives include faith, fidelity, and confererate, is noteworthy in that its descendants in several of the Indo-European daughter languages refer specifically to the mutual trust on which covenants and social contracts must stand in order to be binding. Latin, for example, gets the general word for “trust,” fidês, as well as the word for “treaty,” foedus, from this root. In Greek, various derivatives of the root appear together with the noun (pro)xeniâ, “guest-friendship, hospitality,” and related words, as in phrases translating “I trust in hospitality”: the guest-host relationship was a covenant of central importance between strangers in ancient Indo-European societies (see the note at ghos-ti-). Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, is an obscure word from Northern Albanian customary law referring to a pledge given by the family of a murdered man to the family of the murderer that they would refrain for a time from blood-feud. This pledge or truce, called besè, is a fundamental expression of the social contract, and comes from *bhidh-tyà-, a suffixed zero-grade form of bheidh-.

federation (n.) 1721, "union by agreement," from French fédération, from Late Latin foederationem (nominative foederatio), noun of action from past-participle stem of Latin foederare "league together," from foedus "covenant, league" (from PIE root *bheidh- "to trust, confide, persuade").
