Credence

/ˈkredəns/ noun

Definition

Belief in or acceptance that something is true.

Etymology

From Latin 'credentia' meaning trust or belief, from 'credere' (to believe). Related to 'credit' and 'creed,' all stemming from the same Latin root about trust.

Kelly Says

The phrase 'lend credence to' uses a metaphor from lending money—you're temporarily giving your trust, just like a loan, which shows how English treats belief and value as nearly identical concepts.
