Etymology
The word 'ovation' originated in Latin from the verb 'ovare' which means to exult or rejoice. It entered the English language in the late 16th century, initially used in the sense of exultation or triumph. Over time, the meaning evolved to represent a public display of appreciation or respect, particularly in the context of performances or achievements.
