[From Medieval Latin crēdentiālis, giving authority, from crēdentia, trust; see credence.]Usage Note: The use of the participle credentialed to refer to certified teachers and other professionals is well established (She became credentialed through a graduate program at a local college), but its more general use to mean "possessing professional or expert credentials" is still widely considered jargon. The sentence The board heard testimony from a number of credentialed witnesses was unacceptable to 85 percent of the Usage Panel in our 1988 survey and to 59 percent in our 2006 survey, indicating that although resistance to it is lessening, its use is still not broadly accepted.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  credentials - a document attesting to the truth of certain stated factscertificate, credential, certificationdocument, papers, written document - writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature)certificate of incorporation - state approval of the articles of incorporation of a corporationbirth certificate - a copy of the official document giving details of a person's birthdiploma, sheepskin - a document certifying the successful completion of a course of studymilitary commission, commission - an official document issued by a government and conferring on the recipient the rank of an officer in the armed forcesbill of health - a certificate saying that a departing ship's company is healthy (to be presented at the next port of arrival)registration - a document certifying an act of registeringteacher's certificate, teaching certificate - a certificate saying that the holder is qualified to teach in the public schoolsprobate, probate will - a judicial certificate saying that a will is genuine and conferring on the executors the power to administer the estate |
