Kudos

Kudos ['kü-"däs], ['kju:dɒs], from the Greek κύδος kydos (literally "that which is heard of") means fame and renown resulting from an act or achievement; by extension is often used as a praising remark. It entered English as British university slang in the early 1800s. Frequently used by Time Magazine, it came to Africa in the 1920s and 1930s.
