praising の語源・成り立ち Etymology
praising は praise に -ing が付いた形で、praise は古フランス語 preisier/prisier（価値を認める）に由来します。さらにラテン語 pretium（価値・価格）につながり、値打ちがあるとみなすことから「褒める」の意味になりました。関連語は prize, appraise です。
Praising is the -ing form of praise, with the final silent e removed before the suffix. Praise entered English through Old French preisier or prisier, meaning to value or commend, and ultimately relates to Latin pretium, “price” or “value.” The semantic development is straightforward: to praise someone is to recognize and express that person's worth. Prize and appraise are historically related through the same idea of value.
