"etymology_text": "The noun is derived from Latin ovātiōnem + English -ion (suffix indicating an action or process, or the result of an action or process). Ovātiōnem is the accusative of ovātiō (“minor triumph; processional entry”), from ovō (“to exult, rejoice; to applaud”) + -tiō (suffix forming nouns relating to some action or the result of an action); ovō is onomatopoeic. The English word is cognate with Italian ovazione (“(Ancient Rome) minor triumph; applause”), Middle French ovation (modern French ovation (“(Ancient Rome) minor triumph; public acclamation; applause”)), Portuguese ovação (“acclamation, ovation”), Spanish ovación (“ovation”).\nThe verb is derived from the noun.",
