Etymology
The word 'uncredited' originated in the early 20th century, combining the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' with 'credited,' which is derived from the Latin word 'credere' meaning 'to believe.' The term gained popularity in the movie industry to refer to individuals who were not officially acknowledged for their work.
