From the word’s history

From Middle English praisen, from Old French proisier 'to value, prize', from Late Latin pretiō, from Latin pretium 'price, worth'.

源自古法文 proisier「重視、估價」,來自拉丁文 pretium「價值」。

Wiktionary

Picture someone saying out loud that another person is good — and saying it where others can hear. Praise is not a private good opinion; it is that opinion put into words and let out into the room. The same act aimed upward becomes worship, and frozen into a few old phrases it becomes a cry of relief.

可以想成:有人開口說出「你很好」這件事,而且是在別人聽得到的地方說。praise 不是心裡默默覺得你不錯,而是把那份肯定講出來、放進空氣裡。同樣的動作往上對著神,就成了敬拜;凝結成幾句老話之後,又變成鬆一口氣時的感嘆。
