Cred = विश्वास, जैसे credit में: bank credit उसी को देता है जिस पर भरोसा हो। Credible = जिस पर विश्वास किया जा सके। आगे 'in' लगाइए तो incredible = अविश्वसनीय।
Cred means belief, as in credit: a bank gives credit only to someone it believes. Something credible is worth believing. Put 'in' before it and incredible means hard to believe.
