(functioning as sing) acclaim, glory, or prestige: the kudos of playing Carnegie Hall
n.

“fame, renown,” 1799, probably originally in university slang, from Greek kydos “glory, fame,” especially in battle, literally “that which is heard of” (see caveat). A singular noun in Greek, but the final -s often is mistaken as a plural suffix in English, leading to the barbarous back-formation kudo (attested by 1936).
