Approbation - a podcast by Word of the Day

Approbation is a noun that refers to approval or praise.

The Latin word probus (PRO boose) means ‘good.’ You could think of something that has gotten approbation as something that has been deemed good.

After all the bad reviews I received for my first novel, it felt wonderful to get so much approbation for my second. Finally, the critics have approved of my writing.
