Origin

From Middle English crede, from Old English crēda, crēdo, from Latin crēdō (“to believe”),

From Middle English crede, from Old English crēda, crēdo, from Latin crēdō (“to believe”), from Proto-Italic *krezdō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱréd-dʰeh₁-ti (“to trust, believe”, literally “to place one's heart”), a compound phrase of the oblique case form of *ḱḗr (“heart”). Creed is cognate with Old Irish creitid (“to believe”), Sanskrit श्रद्दधाति (śráddadhāti, “to have faith or faithfulness, to have belief or confidence, believe”).
