n.

1620s, from french accolade (16c.), from provençal acolada or italian accollata, ultimately from noun use of a fem. past participle from vulgar latin -accollare “to embrace around the neck,” from latin ad- “to” (see ad-) + collum “neck” (see collar (n.)).

the original sense is of an embrace about the neck or the tapping of a sword on the shoulders to confer knighthood. extended meaning “praise, award” is from 1852. also see -ade. earlier was accoll (mid-14c.), from old french acolee “an embrace, kiss, especially that given to a new-made knight,” from verb acoler. the french noun in the 16c. was transformed to accolade, with the foreign suffix.
