Etymology 1
From Ancient Greek ????? (kûdos, “praise, renown”).
Noun
kudos (uncountable)
- Praise; accolades.
- 2011 Allen Gregory, "1 Night in Gottlieb" (season 1, episode 2):
- Allen Gregory DeLongpre: Pat, I gotta tell you, you did a lot of things right with this lunch?kudos. You got back quickly, you showed initiative, and, best of all, you left plenty of room for improvement.
- 2011 Allen Gregory, "1 Night in Gottlieb" (season 1, episode 2):
- Credit for one's achievements.
Usage notes
- The noun kudos was originally a mass noun, but in American English is now sometimes treated as a plural noun, either as a plurale tantum, or as the plural of a new noun kudo, contrary to the original Greek ????? (kûdos), which is a singular noun. The American pronunciation implies this plural usage, which many authorities nevertheless consider erroneous.
