'credit-extending' originates from the combination of 'credit' and 'extend,' where 'credit' meant 'trust or belief' and 'extend' meant 'to stretch out or expand.'

'credit' changed from the Latin word 'creditum' and 'extend' from the Latin word 'extendere,' eventually forming the modern English term 'credit-extending.'

Initially, 'credit' meant 'trust or belief,' and 'extend' meant 'to stretch out or expand,' evolving into the current meaning of providing financial trust or resources.
