CREDO
What does "CREDO" mean?
A statement of the beliefs or aims that guide someone's actions.
Meanings
- A set of guiding principles or beliefs a person or group lives by. Honesty above all was the founder's lifelong credo.
- A formal statement of Christian belief, especially the Apostles' or Nicene Creed. The congregation recited the Credo together. technical
Did you know?
- 'Credo' and 'creed' are the same word twice: 'credo' is the literal Latin 'I believe', and because the Latin creeds open with that very word, the whole statement took its name from its first syllable.
Word origin
Directly from Latin 'credo', meaning 'I believe' - the literal first word of the Latin Christian creeds, later generalized to any guiding belief.
Remember it
CREDO = 'I believe' in Latin, and it's CRED + O: your credo is what gives you 'cred'.
A little poem
Not what you swear when cameras gleam,
but what you'd keep with no one watching - that's your credo's seam.
