So nennt man etwas, das schon oft gut funktioniert hat und dem man deshalb vertrauen kann.

The German word "bewährt" is an adjective that translates to "tried and tested" or "proven". It is derived from the verb "bewähren," which means "to prove oneself" or "to stand the test." The term is often used to describe methods, strategies, or products that have shown reliability and effectiveness over time.

Similar words in German include "erprobt" (proven or tested) and "zuverlässig" (reliable).

The difference between "bewährt" and "erprobt" is subtle; while both can imply that something has been tested, "bewährt" emphasizes that it has not only been tested but has also consistently performed well. "Zuverlässig" focuses more on the notion of reliability rather than the proven aspect.
