I have just completed this crossword and the last one in was 26a Common Praise Latin? Turn back (5)

I have entered 'usual' -common.
However, I don't understand the rest of the clue as I did not do Latin at school. Could someone explain it to me please.

usual - 'laus' (praise in Latin) + 'u' (turn) reversed (back)

Thank you, bulliver. Is that where we get applause from?
you're welcome (not sure if 'applause' is from this or another Latin word)
Question Author
Thanks again. I wish I'd passed my eleven plus and gone to a Grammar School.
