Best Answer

a credit is pay out, debit is pay in

Debit and credit are part of the double-entry accounting system for adjusting different transactions in accounts.

When creating a T account debit just means "left side" and credit means "right side."

Debit comes from the Latin word debere, and credit comes from the Latin word credere.
