creer

/kɾeˈeɾ/ · A1 · verb

to believe

🙏 creer = credo, credit, credible: all from Latin credere, to believe

Spanish creer comes from Latin credere, which lost its d on the way. English kept the d in creed, credit, credible and incredible. Giving someone credit means believing them, which is exactly what creer does.
