Etymology
The term 'credit-permitting' is a compound word formed from 'credit' and 'permitting'. 'Credit' originates from Latin 'creditum', meaning 'a loan, thing entrusted', and 'permitting' is derived from Latin 'permittere', meaning 'to allow'.
'Credit' evolved from the Latin 'creditum' through Old French 'crédit', while 'permitting' evolved from Latin 'permittere' through Old French 'permettre'.
Initially, 'credit' referred to a loan or trust, and 'permitting' meant allowing. Together, they evolved to mean 'subject to credit approval'.
