Definitions and meaning of kudos

kudos

Etymology

From Ancient Greek κῦδος (kûdos, praise, renown).

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈkjuːdɒs/
  • (US) IPA(key): /ˈkuː.doʊz/, /ˈkuː.doʊs/

Noun

kudos (uncountable)

  1. 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.
  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 κῦδος (kûdos), which is a singular noun. The American pronunciation implies this plural usage, which many authorities nevertheless consider erroneous.
