1. a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly, typically someone who has just died:"his good friend delivered a brief eulogy"
Word Originlate Middle English (in the sense ‘high praise’): from medieval Latin eulogium, eulogia (from Greek eulogia ‘praise’), apparently influenced by Latin elogium ‘inscription on a tomb’ (from Greek elegia ‘elegy’). The current sense dates from the late 16th century.
