Praise, plaudits (7)
I believe the answer is:
acclaim
I believe this is a double definition.
'praise' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'plaudits' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
(Other definitions for acclaim that I've seen before include "Enthusiastic and public praise" , "Welcome with shouts of applause" , "Laud" , "Great public praise" , "Declare" .)
