Where it comes from
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”).
