The German word "Applaus" is a noun that means "applause". It comes from the Latin "applausus," meaning "to applaud" or "to clap." "Applaus" refers to the act of showing approval or appreciation for a performance, speech, or event, typically through clapping hands or cheers.

Similar words in German include "Beifall" (approval or applause) and "Bravo" (a shout of approval).

While "Beifall" is more general and can include other forms of approval, "Applaus" specifically refers to the clapping or sounds made during applause. "Bravo" is often used specifically in response to performances, especially in theater or music, rather than indicating general approval.
