Definition
Gave someone praise or a kind remark about them.
Etymology
From Latin 'complere' (to complete, fulfill) became 'complement', then 'compliment' in English by the 1600s. A compliment was originally something that 'completed' the other person's worth by adding praise.
Kelly Says
The spelling confusion with 'complement' (which matches/goes with) is legendary—but remember: you 'compliment' people because praise 'completes' their day with kindness!
