Morphology

trust + and + transparency

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'trust' (confidence in someone's reliability) and 'transparency' (openness/clarity), with 'and' simply coordinating the two qualities. This is a straightforward, compositional coordination of familiar abstract nouns that is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand the phrase.

Etymology

Trust and transparency paints a simple picture: trust is the belief that someone will do the right thing, and transparency is like a clear window you can look through so nothing is hidden. That's why when people or companies show their actions like a clear window, others feel safe and it means 'open and honest communication'.
