Where does 'applause' come from? |
[Improve]
Applause (Latin 'applaudere', to strike upon, clap) is primarily the expression of approval by the act of clapping, or striking the palms of the hands together, in order to create noise. Audiences are usually expected to applaud after a performance, such as a musical concert, speech, or play.
