credibility
Significado: The quality of being trusted and believed in; the quality of being convincing or believable.
Credibility is essential in journalism, politics, academia, and business. Losing credibility is often described as the most damaging thing that can happen to a public figure or institution. Common collocations include 'credibility gap' (the difference between what is claimed and what is true), 'street credibility' (authenticity in urban culture, shortened to 'street cred'), and 'lend credibility to' (make something more believable).
