/ˌækləˈmeɪʃn//ˌækləˈmeɪʃn/

The word "acclamation" originates from the Latin words "ad" meaning "to" and "clamare" meaning "to cry out". In ancient Rome, acclamation referred to the act of shouting or crying out in approval, which was often used to show admiration or approval for a person or idea. For example, a victorious gladiator might be greeted with an acclamation as a sign of admiration. Over time, the word evolved to refer to a formal vote or declaration in favor of something, such as a leader or a policy. Today, acclamation is often used to describe the process of giving formal approval or recognition to someone or something through cheering, applause, or a formal vote.
