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」。
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.
