你可以在另一个单词inacoustic 看到和kudos 一样的词根， 单词inacoustic 是弗兰西斯·培根(Francis Bacon)从意思为"听"的希腊语单词akouein 摘来的。 在希腊语里kudos 的引申义为"表扬，赞扬"，而从本义上看它更倾向于“名声”和“声望”的意思。

Even more literally kudos meant “that which is heard of” and you can see the same root in kudos that also exists inacoustic which Francis Bacon plucked from the Greek word akouein meaning “to hear.”
