Troth (Truth)
a word occurring in the Prayer-book only in the marriage service, thus, "And thereto I plight thee my troth;" that is, "thereto I most solemnly pledge thee my truth and sincerity." Near the end of the same service the minister says that the persons now married have "pledged their troth each to other," i.e. have promised to be true and faithful to each other. — Stanton, Dict. of the Church, s.v.
