Word of the Day

laudable

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 7, 2026 is:

laudable • \LAW-duh-bul\ • adjective

Laudable is a somewhat formal word used to describe something as worthy of praise. It is a synonym of commendable.

// Thanks to the laudable efforts of dozens of volunteers, the town's Spring Festival was an enjoyable event for everyone.

See the entry >

Examples:

"Fair and equal access to higher education, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographical location, is a laudable aim." — The Irish Times, 2 July 2025

Did you know?

Let's have a hearty round of applause for laudable, a word that never fails to celebrate the positive. Laudable comes ultimately from Latin laud- or laus, meaning "praise," as does laudatory. Take care, however, to consider the differences between the pair: laudable means "deserving praise" or "praiseworthy"; it is typically used to describe things people try to do or achieve ("a laudable goal/aim") or the work they expend to do so ("laudable efforts"). Meanwhile, laudatory means "giving praise" or "expressing praise"; it is almost always used to describe a favorable response to something, as in "laudatory remarks," and "laudatory media coverage."
