encomiast ("en-KO-me-ast")
origin: from the Greek "egkomiazein", meaning "to praise"
1. A composer or deliverer of an encomium; a flatterer, a eulogizer.
"Here again is posed the question of Hans Castorp's mediocrity or more
than mediocrity, to which we would give no hard and fast answer. For
we do not set up as the young man's encomiast, and prefer to leave
room for the other view: namely, that his work stood somewhat in the
way of his unclouded enjoyment of his Maria Mancini."
--Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
1928 translation by H.T. Lowe-Porter
