 kudos, kudo. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
Kudos is a word originally Greek meaning “praise, fame, glory,” and it is singular: True kudos comes only to the deserving.
When it came into English (via British university slang), it was pronounced either KOO-daws or KYOO-daws, and conservative commentators insist that only this singular mass noun use and these pronunciations are appropriate.
But our fading knowledge of Greek has affected the word’s pronunciation and number: it has come frequently to be pronounced KOO-doz and to be taken for a plural whose singular (via back-formation) is kudo (pronounced KOO-do), all of which are considered Nonstandard by conservatives.
