Why this word is great
MACARISM — [Noun] A beatitude or formal declaration of blessedness; the specific happiness derived from being praised or recognized as fortunate. From the Ancient Greek μακαρισμός (makarismós), from μακάριος (makários, "happy, blessed") + -ισμός (-ismós, suffix forming nouns of action or result). Unlike schadenfreude, which savors another's pain, or eudaimonia, which charts a lifelong project of flourishing, macarism is a conferred and witnessed moment of bliss. It is the public toast that crystallizes a private glow, the unexpected commendation filed away and revisited, or the ancient, resonant "blessed are you" spoken as solemn truth—a fleeting sanctuary of grace in a narrative of struggle.
