Morphology
creditability = creditable (opaque) = credit + able + ity
Although the spelling shows credit + able + -ity, the financial-credit meaning is a specialized and non-standard extension that is not predictable from the parts alone.
Etymology
The word creditability comes from the Latin verb credere 'to believe' and shares the root with credit, which is money you are trusted to borrow. So, in finance it means how much a person or company is trusted to get loans or credit.
