Eulogy

noun/YOO-luh-jee/

A speech or piece of writing that praises someone, often after they have died.

In his eulogy he thanked the old coach for years of patient training.

Eulogy holds 'eu' (good) and 'logy' (words): good words spoken about someone.

A 'eulogy' praises a person; do not use it for praising ordinary objects.
