Etymology

The term 'credit' originates from the Latin word 'credere', meaning 'to believe' or 'to trust'. In the late Middle Ages, credit was associated with the idea of giving someone trust or belief in their ability to repay a loan. As commerce expanded in the modern era, the term evolved to include recognition of intellectual contributions, leading to the coining of the verb 'crediting'. By the late 19th century, it became common in academic contexts, where scholars were urged to credit their sources to uphold integrity and avoid plagiarism. The modern usage of 'crediting' captures the essential practice of acknowledging contributions across varied fields, including literature, art, and science.
