köken: From Middle French crédit (“belief, trust”), from Latin creditum (“a loan, credit”), neuter of creditus, past participe of credere (“to believe”). The verb is from the noun.
köken: Deverbal from lăuda or inherited from Latin laudem, accusative of laus, from the Proto-Indo-European root *lēwt-, *lēwdʰ- (“song, sound”), from *lēw- (“to sound, resound, sing out”).
name, fame, repute (good reputation obtained by outstanding qualities, success, and good deeds) · reputation (what somebody is known for, either good or bad)
köken: Unclear. Accepting a shift of Proto-Italic *ow to Latin au in pretonic positions, the term reflects a Proto-Indo-European *le/ow-V́-d⁽ʰ⁾-, which is usually traced back to a tentative root *lew- (“to sing, praise”) together with Proto-Germanic *leuþą (“song, poem”). Connection with Old Irish loíd (“poem, lay”) is usually rejected.
