Etymology
Credentials comes from the old Latin root cred- and the verb credere, which mean 'to believe'. Think of the English word credit, which also comes from the same root and means 'to trust', so credentials are papers or proofs that make others 'believe' you are who you say you are or have the skills you claim.
