'applause' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ovation that I've seen before include "Too vain (anag)" , "Show of appreciation" , "Round of applause, may be standing" , "Stormy applause" , "Enthusiastic applause, may be given standing" .)
