From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Incroyable \In`croy`a"ble\, n. [F., lit., incredible.]
     A French fop or dandy of the time of the Directory; hence,
     any fop.
  
     Note: The name is said to have been given in allusion not
           only to the extravagant dress, but also to the frequent


           use of the phrase "C'est vraiment incroyable" (That is
           really incredible.).
