2. A loan, line of credit, or amount of money available to borrow: "He put the purchase on credit."
3. Accounting entry that either increases liabilities or equity or decreases assets (opposite of a debit): "The accountant posted a credit to the revenue account."
4. Recognition or acknowledgment for a contribution or achievement: "She received credit for designing the logo."
5. Units toward completion of an educational program (course credits): "You need 120 credits to graduate."
6. A note listing contributors to a film, TV show, or other production (often plural: credits): "His name appeared in the end credits."
