Usage notes
• The noun kudos was originally a mass noun, but in American English is now sometimes treated as a plural noun, either as a plurale tantum, or as the plural of a new noun kudo, contrary to the original Greek κῦδος, which is a singular noun. The American pronunciation implies this plural usage, which many authorities nevertheless consider erroneous.
Etymology 2
Noun
kudos
plural of kudo Note that 'kudo' is itself a backformation from kudos under the (mistaken) idea that kudos, because it ends in the letter 's', is a plural.
