Etymology
The word 'extolled' comes from the Latin term 'extollere', which means 'to raise up' or 'to elevate.' In Latin, 'ex' means 'out' or 'from,' and 'tollere' means 'to lift or raise.' The word was adopted into Middle English as 'extollen' around the late 14th century, retaining much of its original meaning related to lifting up in praise. Over time, it has come to be used primarily in connection with enthusiasm for people, actions, and ideas. The usage of 'extolled' has remained relatively stable over the centuries, often appearing in contexts that denote reverence and admiration.
