🎶⛪ alabado = alabar (to praise) + -ado: a hymn of praise, 'praised' in song
Alabado is the past participle of alabar, to praise, which comes from Latin laudare. A devotional hymn is literally a 'praised' song, sung to praise God. Link it to English 'laud' and 'laudable', which share the same Latin root.
