tributes
Praise for another
Tributes are expressions of gratitude, respect, or admiration—often for someone who has died or achieved something notable: The memorial service included tributes from colleagues and friends.
A tribute can also be something that demonstrates a quality: The building's longevity is a tribute to its original craftsmanship.
Historically, tribute was payment made by one ruler or state to another as acknowledgment of submission.
