Rare enough to double-check
à crédit is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadverb, transcribed \a kʁe.di\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Se dit d’un paiement avec un délai.".
à crédit has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. This headword has no recorded confusable partner, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.
No documented word history exists for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is à crédit, spelled À- -C-R-É-D-I-T.
