About this verb#
- Prefixed perfective from вера ('faith, trust') with до- (here in 'completion' sense). Class 4a with fixed stem stress on -ве- (доверю, доверишь, доверят). Note the divergent meanings of доверить ('entrust X to Y') and the imperfective доверять which can also mean 'to trust someone' (+ Dat alone, without a thing).
