Here are some ways to think about "attributed":
* Assigning responsibility: You might attribute a successful project to the hard work of your team.
* Giving credit: You might attribute a famous quote to its original author.
* Identifying the source: You might attribute a piece of art to a specific artist based on their style.
Here are some examples of "attributed" in a sentence:
* The invention of the telephone is attributed to Alexander Graham Bell. (Meaning: We believe he created it.)
* This beautiful painting has been attributed to the Renaissance artist, Leonardo da Vinci. (Meaning: We think he painted it.)
* The success of the business can be attributed to the CEO's strong leadership. (Meaning: We think his leadership caused the success.)
