Infidelity does not necessarily mean that someone is cheating on his/her lover, but that is the connotation mostly used today. The "fidel" part of "Infidelity" is a latin root meaning loyal, and the "in" means "opposite". Therefore, Infidelity is the act of being disloyal.

Infidelity is literally a breach of faith. Fidelity, derived from the Latin word for faithfullness, is the principle of not deceiving one capable of being deceived. Infidelity is a breach of good faith that applies in a number of contexts. In the context of this article about close relationships, infidelity is referred to as cheating, which is 'any violation of the mutually agreed-upon rules or boundaries of a relationship'. It does not require sexual behaviour to qualify as infidelity. The definition of what constitutes an act of infidelity varies between and within cultures. People in a close relationship may have very different ideas and perceptions of infidelity - see Blumstein. A man cheated by his wife is referred to as a Cuckold but no equivalent word exists for a woman cheated by her partner.
