Credo


 Here is a fascinating Latin word with a lot of history. In Classical Latin Credo simply meant “I Believe.” In the progress of history however, and with the rise of the Christians. “Credo” became a noun and not a verb because a credo was a set of predetermined beliefs that a person adheres to.

It’s so interesting how much of an affect history has on the evolution of language. The two really go hand and hand. Studying them together helps to give a student a more nuanced education. Don’t you agree!
