Definition
Plural of credence; things given belief or acceptance, or in churches, small tables where the Eucharist elements are placed before use.
Etymology
From Old French 'credence' meaning 'belief' or 'trust,' derived from Latin 'credentia' (trustworthiness), from 'credere' (to believe). The ecclesiastical sense emerged in medieval church practice.
Kelly Says
In medieval churches, credences were literally trust-testing tables—a servant would taste the communion wine and bread first to prove it wasn't poisoned, which is why the furniture became associated with the word for 'belief'!
