Debit and Credit Theory
• Debit comes from debere in Latin. It means to owe. Credit comes from credere which means to trust or believe.
• These lead to words like “debt” and “in debt,” which sound bad and words like “credible” and “credentials” which sound good.
• So, asset accounts have the values on the left (debit) side and liability accounts have the values on the right (credit) side.
• Therefore, asset accounts have debit values, liability accounts have credit values.
