Definition
A written or spoken expression of high praise; a eulogy or formal tribute.
Etymology
Variant spelling of 'eloge,' from the same Latin eulogium root. The -y ending is an English variant formation, appearing in older texts as an alternative to -e.
Kelly Says
Elogy is like finding a fork in the road of English word evolution—it shows us how the same Latin word could take different paths, creating elogy, eloge, and eulogy all as legitimate alternatives.
