felicitate
Express warm wishes
Felicitate means to congratulate or express joy at someone's good fortune or achievement.
The word is formal and somewhat old-fashioned, more common in official contexts or written correspondence than casual speech: The committee felicitated the award recipients.
Allow me to felicitate you on your promotion.
