Crossword Genius

Believe in giving commendation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

credit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'believe in' is the first definition.
'credit' can be an answer for 'believe' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'in' bit.

'commendation' is the second definition.
(I know that credit is a type of commendation)

'giving' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for credit that I've seen before include "Source of pride; account entry" , "acknowledgement of liability" , "Belief; tick" , "Believe the time allowed for payment" , "Title" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
