Giving a title or claim to credit or confidence; accrediting.
Word of the Day: Catachrestical
1. That which gives a title to credit or confidence.
2. Testimonials showing that a person is entitled to credit, or has right to exercise official power, as the letters given by a government to an ambassador or envoy, or a certificate that one is a duly elected delegate.
plural [Rarely or never used in the singular.] That which gives credit; that which gives a title or claim to confidence; the warrant on which belief, credit or authority is claimed, among strangers; as the letters of commendation and power given by a government to an embassador or envoy, which give him credit at a foreign court. So the power of working miracles given to the apostles may be considered as their credentials authorizing them to propagate the gospel, and entitling them to credit.
