The phrase ‘receiving accolades‘ combines the action of receiving with the term accolades, which refers to expressions of praise or approval. The word ‘accolade‘ comes from the Latin ‘acclamatio,‘ which means ‘a shout of approval.‘ It evolved through the Old French ‘accolade,‘ originally referring to a ceremonial embrace or a form of bestowing a knighthood. The modern usage of ‘accolade‘ in English as a term for praise or award emerged in the 19th century, reflecting its broader sense of acknowledgment and celebration.
