Eulogiums

/juːˈloʊdʒiəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of eulogium; multiple formal praises or expressions of commendation.

Etymology

Regular English plural of the Latin-derived 'eulogium.' Adding '-s' to Latinized words is standard English practice, though 'eulogies' (the regular plural) is now far more common.

Kelly Says

The shift from 'eulogiums' to 'eulogies' shows how English gradually replaces Latin-influenced plurals with regular English ones—we once said 'mediums' and 'radiuses,' but now increasingly use 'media' and 'radii' instead.
