Praise so nice the word is actually singular, not plural, forever confusing everyone.
means Credit, praise, or recognition given for an achievement.
from From Greek 'kydos' (κῦδος), meaning glory or renown — a straightforward borrowing into English academic and journalistic slang. It's grammatically singular in Greek, but because it ends in an 's,' English speakers kept mistaking it for a plural — leading some to invent the nonexistent singular 'kudo,' which etymologists wince at every time.
