applauder

/æplˈɔdɚ/ noun

One who applauds.

Word Origin From Latin plaudere 'to clap' — an applauder is literally a 'clapper.' The prefix ap- (ad- 'to') gives the sense of clapping toward someone. The same root gives us applause, plausible (worthy of applause), explode (originally 'to clap out, drive off the stage by clapping'), and implode. The PIE *plak- meant 'to strike,' so you can almost hear the clapping.
