Praise a Latin duo cavorting (9)
I believe the answer is:
adulation
'praise' is the definition.
(I know that adulation is a type of flattery)
'a latin duo cavorting' is the wordplay.
'cavorting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'latin'+'duo'='latinduo'
'latinduo' with letters rearranged gives 'dulation'.
'a'+'dulation'='ADULATION'
(Other definitions for adulation that I've seen before include "pats on the back" , "Fulsome praise" , "Hero-worship" , "Praise - flattery" , "Worshipping" .)
