imputed

Credited to another

Imputed is the past tense and past participle of impute, which means to attribute something, usually something negative, to a person or cause.

If you impute bad motives to someone, you're suggesting they acted with ill intent, whether or not you have proof.

In legal and religious contexts, impute often describes assigning guilt or sin: The crime was imputed to an innocent man.

In finance and statistics, imputed refers to values that are estimated or assigned when actual data is missing: imputed income or imputed rent.
