Why “collaud” is a great word
COLLAUD — [Verb] To join with others in praising or extolling. From the Latin collaudāre, from com- ("with, together") and laudāre ("to praise"). First attested in English c. 1512. Unlike "laud," which is praise offered singly, or "celebrate," which mingles honor with festivity, to collaud is to consciously harmonize disparate voices into a single tribute. It is the swelling "Amen" of a congregation, the synchronized signatures on a testimonial, the dutiful murmur of assent in a committee's commendation—a testament to the architectural weight of shared admiration.
