Question

credo She claims she made her money on Wall Street just by following the old credo “Buy low, sell high.” ˈkridoʊ

Accepted Answer

(1) A statement of the basic beliefs of a religious faith. (2) A set of guiding principles or beliefs. Credo comes straight from the Latin word meaning “I believe,” and is the first word of many religious credos, or creeds, such as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed. But the word can be applied to any guiding principle or set of principles. Of course, you may choose a different credo when you're 52 than when you're 19. But here is the credo of the writer H. L. Mencken, written after he had lived quite a few years: “I believe that it is better to tell the truth than to lie. I believe that it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe that it is better to know than to be ignorant.
