Take one's hat off to someone

Show admiration

The most appropriate meaning of the idiom "take one's hat off to someone" is show admiration.

The idiom comes from the practice of removing one's hat as a sign of respect or deference. When someone says "take one's hat off to someone," they are expressing their admiration for that person's skills, achievements, or qualities.

For example, you might say "I take my hat off to you for finishing that marathon." or "I have to take my hat off to the engineers who designed this bridge."

The other options are not as appropriate. To indicate disapproval is the opposite of showing admiration. To express anger is not the same as showing admiration. And to display humility is not the same as showing admiration.
