backslap

/ˈbækˌsɫæp/ verb

To enthusiastically affirm or congratulate a person, especially by patting them on the back.

Word Origin Backslap is the verb form of backslapping — to slap someone on the back in a friendly way. It's a straightforward combination of 'back' and 'slap', with 'slap' being an imitative word for the sound of a flat blow. The same 'slap' gives us 'slapstick' (comedy with physical blows) and 'slapdash' (done hastily, like a quick slap).
