The word for today is…

plaudit (noun) – Enthusiastic expression of praise or approval.

Source : [The Free Dictionary](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/plaudit?ref=goodoil.news)

Etymology : You earn plaudits for your etymological knowledge if you can connect plaudit to words besides the familiar applaud and applause. A word coined by shortening Latin plaudite, meaning “applaud,” plaudit had gained approval status in English by the first years of the 17th century. Latin plaudite is a form of the verb plaudere, meaning “to applaud”; plaudere, in turn, is ancestor to explode, plausible, and the archaic displode (a synonym of explode).
