Etymology

The word 'extolling' comes from the Latin 'extollere', which means 'to lift up' or 'to elevate.' The prefix 'ex-' denotes 'out' or 'up,' while 'tollere' means 'to raise' or 'to lift.' This term transitioned into Middle English and has retained its form and meaning through the centuries. Historically, extolling has been associated with religious and cultural practices, where individuals were often celebrated for their moral and ethical contributions to society. Its usage has evolved, but the core concept of elevation through praise remains central.
