Etymology
'credit-deteriorating' originates from the combination of 'credit' and 'deteriorate,' where 'credit' refers to the trust in financial reliability and 'deteriorate' means to worsen or decline.
'Credit' from Latin 'creditum' and 'deteriorate' from Latin 'deteriorare' combined in modern English to form 'credit-deteriorating.'
Initially, 'credit' meant 'trust or belief,' and 'deteriorate' meant 'to make worse.' Together, they describe a decline in financial trustworthiness.
