Panegyric

Panegyric

<pan-ah-jare-rik>

praising; tribute; accolade;

givings a good speech about someone.

He composed a panegyric in her honor. It was a great tribute.

Memory trick: Pane reminds of a window pane.
We look through a window pane.
Gyric reminds of terrific.
We look and see someone terrific.

Used at work:
His panegyric was well deserved. He is a good worker.
