The word "congratulated" derives from the Middle English term "congratulat", which was adapted from the Latin word "congratulari". In Latin, "congratulari" is a combination of the prefix "con-" meaning "together" or "with", and "gratulari" meaning "to wish joy". The Latin word "gratulari" itself comes from the word "gratus", meaning "pleasing" or "grateful". Over time, "congratulat" in Middle English evolved into "congratulated" in modern English.
