Origin:
The term "kudos" originated as a medieval Latin phrase, quod deus, which was used to express the idea that something happened because it was God's will. This phrase was typically inscribed on coins or medals to signify that they were issued by the authority of God.
Over time, the phrase became corrupted to quad deus and then to co du Dio in Italian. It eventually made its way into French as qu'il ou Dieu, and from there it was adopted into English in the 18th century as "kudos."
The current usage of "kudos" as a form of praise or recognition is a more recent development. It is believed to have originated in the late 19th century among college students, who used it to express admiration for their teachers or classmates. From there, it gradually spread into wider usage in the early 20th century.
