🌳Etymology
Origin
From French 'accolade', derived from Old French 'acol' meaning 'embrace' or 'neck', which comes from Latin 'ad-' (to) combined with 'collum' (neck). The word originally referred to an embrace or the act of putting an arm around someone's neck, later evolving to mean a ceremonial gesture of honor.
