adj. expressing high praise; commendatory
The word "eulogistic" derives from Greek roots. The prefix "eu-" (good) combines with "logos" (speech, word), forming "eulogy" (a speech of praise). The suffix "-istic" transforms it into an adjective, emphasizing the act of praising. Historically, "eulogy" referred to formal orations honoring the deceased, but "eulogistic" broadened to describe any laudatory expression.
