Rhymes: -uːn Etymology: Borrowed from Latin grātulātiō (“congratulation, rejoicing”) (genitive grātulātiōnis), an action noun formed from Latin grātulārī (“to congratulate”) and -tiō (“action-noun-forming suffix”). The verb derives from Latin grātus (“pleasing, welcome; grateful”), from Proto-Italic *gʷrātos (“grateful”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷr̥Htós (“praised”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷerH- (“to welcome, praise”).

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from Latin grātulātiō (“congratulation, rejoicing”) (genitive grātulātiōnis), an action noun formed from Latin grātulārī (“to congratulate”) and -tiō (“action-noun-forming suffix”). The verb derives from Latin grātus (“pleasing, welcome; grateful”), from Proto-Italic *gʷrātos (“grateful”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷr̥Htós (“praised”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʷerH- (“to welcome, praise”).\nCompare the parallel Latin-derived nouns Norwegian Nynorsk gratulasjon, Danish gratulation, Swedish gratulation, German Gratulation (“congratulation”) and archaic English gratulation.",
