encomium
noun
en·co·mi·um en-ˈkō-mē-əm 
plural encomiums also encomia en-ˈkō-mē-ə
: glowing and warmly enthusiastic praise
also : an expression of this
Did you know?
The love of praise, howe're concealed by art / Reigns more or less, and glows in every heart. British writer Edward Young knew how much people love to hear praise - and so did the ancient Greeks, the originators of "encomium." They formalized that particular expression of praise and named it an "enkōmion," from their terms en, meaning "in," and kōmos, meaning "celebration." The original encomiums were eulogies or panegyrics, often ones prepared in honor of a victor in the Olympics. The term was later broadened to refer to any laudatory ode. Since then encomiums have been written praising everyone from Julius Caesar to Elton John, although not all have been entirely serious - one of the best known is the satirical "Moriae Encomium" ("Praise of Folly") by Erasmus.

Recent Examples on the Web This encomium was not one that Frankfurter received only posthumously. 
Justin Driver, The Atlantic, 12 Aug. 2022 The first was that the canticle contains an encomium of Saint Dominic, who in Merwin’s eyes was the most villainous churchman of the Middle Ages. Robert Pogue Harrison, The New York Review of Books, 17 Aug. 2017 This encomium seems a little like awarding the season’s M.V.P. during spring training, simply because an intrepid player announces his plan to bat .400. Bill Mckibben, The New Yorker, 24 Dec. 2020 The encomiums his cheerleaders offer him, a veteran professional politician in a baggy suit, are as extreme as his ideas. The Economist, 23 Jan. 2020 Here’s a second reason for caution: Despite heady media claims that pizza is now being made by artificial intelligence (and a similar suggestion from the company itself), Picnic’s device doesn’t quite earn that encomium. Stephen L. Carterbloomberg, Houston Chronicle, 31 Jan. 2020 Certainly there was no evidence in its encomium to Koch. Michael Hiltzik, Los Angeles Times, 26 Aug. 2019 Such encomiums haven’t helped her popularity in her home state, though. oregonlive.com, 22 July 2019 Ralph Lauren is admired throughout the fashion industry as the quintessential American designer, and singer-songwriter John Legend’s success is evident from countless encomiums and a shelf full of awards.
