What does EXTOL mean in Scrabble?
verb
formal
To praise someone or something enthusiastically and at length.
To extol is to speak or write about the merits of someone or something with clear enthusiasm, usually going well beyond a simple compliment. Speeches, reviews, and biographies often extol the virtues of their subject, listing achievements or qualities in glowing terms. The word carries a slightly formal tone, so it appears more in written praise, journalism, or ceremony than in casual conversation. Extol differs from mere praise by suggesting sustained, deliberate admiration rather than a passing remark.
