kudos. Kudos is acclaim or praise for an exceptional achieve- ment and derives from the Greek kydos “magical glory.” Ety- mologically, the word kudos is singular, as in “Kudos is his for his brilliant translation,” or in “He received kudos from every- one on his towering performance.” The word came into aca- demic use in the early 19th century and began to be used popu- larly in the 1920s. |
