A formal written or spoken tribute of praise, similar to a eulogy or panegyric.
Latin form derived from Greek eulogium (speaking well), from eu (well) and logos (word). This Latin version was commonly used in formal Renaissance and medieval texts.
Elogium is the Latin root that spawned eulogy, eloge, and elogy—if you trace through these words, you're basically seeing how one Greek compliment evolved into multiple languages across centuries.
