词根:-cred-
【词根含义】:相信,信任

【同源单词】:accredit, credentials, credibility, credible, credit
词根:cred(creed, cre) = to believe, to trust(相信)
来自拉丁语的credere 意为to believe,to trust,它的变形为creed和cre。同义词根有来自拉丁语的fid(fi,fy,feder,feal)以及来自盎格鲁-撒克逊语的tru(tro)等。
unbelievable和incredible 都指“难以置信的”,区别是believe 来源于德语glauben (相信),源自对神的相信进入希腊语演变为gelefan,又变形为belefan,后进入西班牙语最后又演变成了believe,所以,believe是指心理上没有
怀疑地接受,比较主观,而credible和管理、金钱或工作作风等背景有关。
