Forms: Old English credon (accusative), Old English– credo.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin credo, French credo, Latin crēdō, crēdere.

Etymology: Originally (in Old English) < post-classical Latin credo (see below). In later use probably reinforced by or reborrowed < (i) Anglo-Norman and Old French credo (late 12th cent.; Middle French, French credo ), and its etymon (ii) post-classical Latin credo creed (from 13th cent. in British and continental sources; compare earlier equivalent use of the phrase credo in Deum : see note), use as noun of classical Latin crēdō ‘I believe’, 1st person singular present indicative of crēdere to believe (see credit v.), which occurs as the first word of the creed. Compare Old Occitan credo , Catalan credo (15th cent.), Spanish credo (13th cent.), Portuguese credo (14th cent.), Italian credo (a1342). Compare creed n.¹The Latin word was also borrowed into other Germanic languages, as Middle Dutch crēdo (Dutch credo ), Middle High German crēdō (German Credo ), Old Icelandic kredo , Old Swedish kredo (Swedish kredo ), Old Danish credo (Danish credo ), all in the sense ‘(Apostles' or Nicene) creed’. The Old English inflected (accusative singular) form crēdon is after crēdan, inflected form of Old English (weak masculine) crēda creed n.¹ In sense 2 chiefly in the space of a creed, apparently after similar idioms in Middle French and in other Romance languages, and frequently used either translating these or in contexts which recall them. Compare also the following attestations in Old English and Middle English of the use of the first three or four words of the Apostles' Creed (credo in Deum ‘I believe in God’, credo in Deum patrem ‘I believe in God the Father’) to denote the Creed itself (compare post-classical Latin credo in Deum in this sense (a814; from 11th cent. in British sources)):OE St. Mary of Egypt (Julius) (2002) 110 Ða bæd heo Maria þæt heo ongunne þæt rihtgeleaffulnysse gebæd, þæt is Credo in Deum.OE Wulfstan Creed (Hatton 113) 158 Hy [sc. the apostles] geswutelodon rihtne geleafan & sungon & gesetton credo in Deum for trymmincge & for mynegunge þæs soðan geleafan.OE Wulfstan Baptism (Hatton 113) (1957) 178 Ðonne se sacerd him ætforan singð, Credo in Deum [lOE Corpus Cambr. 302 Credo in Deum patrem], þonne trymeð he his geleafan.a1225 (c1200) Vices & Virtues (1888) 27 Ac ðat ðe ure hali faderes teforen us writen, and tahte on ðe credo in deum and on quicunque uult, all ȝelief ðu fastliche.c1400 (c1378) W.
