Applauds (5)
I believe the answer is:
claps
'applauds' is the definition.
('clap' can be a synonym of 'applaud')
This is all the clue.
(Another definition for claps that I've seen is " Applauds".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, the LA Times and The Mirror.
