Etymology
**Etymology:**
The French adjective *croyable* comes from Old French *croyable*, formed from the noun *croy* (belief) plus the suffix *‑able* (capable of). *Croy* is derived from the verb *créer* (to believe), which ultimately goes back to Latin *credo* “to believe.” The term has steadily kept its sense of “worthy of belief” from its medieval origins to modern usage.
