Applausive + -ly (adverb suffix). Transforms the adjective into an adverb describing how something is done with approval or praise.
You might read that a crowd 'applausively greeted' a performer, which creates a vivid picture of enthusiastic approval—it's much more specific than just saying 'they applauded' because it emphasizes the emotion behind the clapping.
