kudos

• n.名誉、名声、賞賛

ギリシャ語のkydos「称える」「名誉」「名声」から。PIE*skeue「気づく」「知覚する」が語源で、語源的にはshowやcaveatと同じ。

kudos (n.)

"fame, renown," 1799, probably originally in university slang, from Greek kydos "glory, fame," especially in battle, literally "that which is heard of," from PIE root *skeue- "to pay attention, perceive" (see caveat). A singular noun in Greek, but the final -s often is mistaken as a plural suffix in English, leading to the barbarous back-formation kudo (attested by 1936).
