creditability

/kɹˌɛdɪɾəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The quality of being creditable.

Word Origin From Latin 'credere' (to believe) and 'habere' (to have, hold) — so creditability is the quality of being able to be believed and held as true. The breakdown 'credit+abil+ity' shows the '-able' (able to) and '-ity' (quality). The same roots give us 'credible', 'creed', 'habit', and 'exhibit' (hold out).
