Full faith and credit: "Faith" (from Old French from Latin) and "credit" (French from Latin) are ancient synonyms for belief, credence, joined together in duplication at least as early as the fifteenth century in the phrase "... to give feith and credence ..." and in the sixteenth century "... to give credit and perfait faith ..."
