Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Cred = विश्वास, जैसे credit और creed में। Credulous व्यक्ति बिना सबूत माँगे हर बात पर विश्वास कर लेता है, इसलिए आसानी से ठगा जाता है। Cred = विश्वास; synonym gullible याद रखिए।

Cred means belief, as in credit and creed. A credulous person gives belief to everything without asking for proof, and so he is easily fooled. 'Cred = vishwas' (cred means belief); the synonym to remember is gullible.
