Note
A plural that appears when credibility is counted out party by party. The noun usually behaves as a mass noun: a source has credibility, not a credibility. It can also be countable, and then the plural sets several reputations side by side. In law, credibility means how believable a witness's testimony is when judged against common experience, so the plural suits weighing several witnesses against one another.
