laudatoris

Laudatoris is a Latin term that translates to "of the praiser" or "of the one who praises." It is the genitive singular form of the Latin noun "laudator," which means praiser, eulogist, or admirer. In classical Latin literature and rhetoric, the term laudator referred to someone who delivered praise, often in a formal setting such as an oration or a written encomium.

The concept of the laudator was important in ancient societies, where public praise and commemoration played a significant role. Orators would often act as laudatores, delivering speeches in honor of individuals, deities, or significant events. These speeches, known as laudationes, were intended to highlight the virtues, accomplishments, and positive qualities of the subject being praised.

In a broader sense, a laudator can be any individual who expresses admiration or commendation for someone or something. This can range from a formal speech to a simple expression of approval or a positive review. The term emphasizes the act of offering praise and recognition.
