What does CREDO mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
A formal statement of the beliefs or principles that guide a person's or group's actions.
Credo comes directly from the Latin word for I believe, the opening word of the Christian creed recited or sung during Mass. In general English usage, a credo no longer needs to be religious; it can be a personal motto, a company's stated values, or the guiding philosophy behind someone's work. The word keeps a slightly formal, deliberate tone, distinguishing it from more casual words like motto or slogan.
