Etymology
The word entered Romanian in the 19th century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language. It is tied to the verb "a aplauda" (to applaud), which comes from Latin "applaudere", a combination of "ad" (toward) and "plaudere" (to clap, to strike). The noun "aplauze" is almost always used in the plural, matching the pattern of French "applaudissements".
