credibly adv.

Usage

People sometimes confuse the words credible and creditable. Credible chiefly means ‘able to be believed; convincing’ (few people found his story credible), while creditable means ‘deserving acknowledgement and praise but not necessarily outstanding’ (a very creditable 2–4 defeat).

Etymology

ME: from L. credibilis, from credere ‘believe’.
