ovation 鼓掌，熱烈歡迎

來自拉丁語ovare,歡狂，歡呼，可能來自擬聲詞。引申詞義鼓掌，熱烈歡迎。

ovation (n.): 1530s, in the Roman historical sense, from Middle French ovation or directly from Latin ovationem (nominative ovatio) "a triumph, rejoicing," noun of action from past participle stem of ovare "exult, rejoice, triumph," probably imitative of a shout (compare Greek euazein "to utter cries of joy"). In Roman history, a lesser triumph, granted to a commander for achievements insufficient to entitle him to a triumph proper. Figurative sense of "burst of enthusiastic applause from a crowd" is first attested 1831.
