The term palm has several uses. It can be used to refer to the lower area of the hand .
Somewhat concave in shape, the palm of the hand extends between the fingers and the wrist. A blow applied with this sector is called a slap . In plural, clapping refers to the noise generated by clapping : that is, by making both palms collide with each other.
When a person claps his hands to show his happiness or as a sign of approval, he is clapping. Applause , therefore, are signals of enthusiasm or assent that are generated with clapping.
