" adulatory "

[Noun]  | "ad*u*la*tion" | \ ˌa-jə-ˈlā-shən \

1: extreme or excessive admiration or flattery

Origin: 15th century ;

 Middle English adulacioun "insincere praise, flattery," borrowed from Anglo-French, borrowed from Latin adūlātiōn-, adūlātiō, from adūlārī "to fawn upon (of dogs), praise insincerely" (of uncertain origin) + -tiōn-, -tiō, suffix of verbal action;

  * Note : On the presumption that it is a denominal verb, Latin adūlārī has been compared with Sanskrit vāla-, vāra- "hair of a horse's tail, horsehair," Lithuanian valaĩ "horse's tail," though this is difficult both semantically and phonetically. More recently, the base of Latin avidus "greedy, eager" has been proposed as a source (see: {avid|avid}), via a prefixed *ad-awido-, syncopated to *ad-audo-, then with the second dissimilated to l, yielding *adūlo-, "eagerly see:king something, flattering.";
