What does CREDIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
Praise or recognition given for something done, or an arrangement to buy now and pay later.
The word comes from the Latin credere, to believe, and the two main senses both rest on trust. In one, credit is the honour due to a person for work well done, as when a name appears in the credits of a film. In the other, it is money lent or the ability to borrow, and in bookkeeping it is the side of an account that records sums received. A student also earns a credit for completing a course. It is used as a verb as well.
