- واژهنامه · Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary ku·do n. Pronunciation: ' kü-( ˌ )dō, ' kyü- Function: noun Inflected Form: plural kudos \-( ˌ )dōz\ Etymology: back-formation from kudos (taken as a plural) Date: 1926 1 : AWARD , HONOR 2 : COMPLIMENT , PRAISE usage Some commentators hold that since kudos is a singular word it cannot be used as a plural and that the word kudo is impossible. But kudo does exist; it is simply one of the most recent words created by back-formation from another word misunderstood as a plural. Kudos was introduced into English in the 19th century; it was used in contexts where a reader unfamiliar with Greek could not be sure whether it was singular or plural. By the 1920s it began to appear as a plural, and about 25 years later kudo began to appear. It may have begun as a misunderstanding, but then so did cherry and pea.
