Acclamation

/ˌækləˈmeɪʃən/

EN

A loud and enthusiastic expression of approval or praise; a method of voting where approval is shown by a general shout, no formal ballot.

The proposal was passed by acclamation after no one spoke against it.

Etymology

Comes from the Latin acclamationem (nominative acclamatio), meaning 'a shouting at or applauding', from the verb acclamare, which combines ad- ('to') and clamare ('to cry or shout'). Entered English in the 15th century.
