An "encomium" is a formal expression of praise, often in the form of a speech or writing that extols the virtues of a particular person, event, or concept. The term is derived from the Greek word "enkomion," which means "a song of praise." Encomiums are typically characterized by their elevated language and rhetorical flourish, aiming to celebrate and highlight positive attributes.
