"Spes" means "Hope" in Latin

i am reminded of the words of an old woman: “hope? i never hope. hope is a step above despair; which is a sin against God. I prefer to trust and get busy doing what I can do, trusting that God will see me through.”
I know some definitions equate hope to trust.
could you speak to this?
btw: yesterday I was looking at the rusty anchor that greets one when entering Capt. Joe’s. when i saw your opening sentence, i expected to see that rusty orange anchor.
