"奉承或虚伪的赞美",14世纪晚期,来自古法语 adulacion,源自拉丁语 adulationem(主格 adulatio)"奉承; 谄媚,卑躬屈膝的礼貌",动名词,来自 adulari 的过去分词词干"奉承,巴结"。
通常认为这个词源于 ad "to"(见 ad-) + 一个表示"尾巴"的词干,源自 PIE *ul- "尾巴"(源头还包括梵语 valah "尾毛"和立陶宛语 valai "马尾巴")。最初的想法是像一只卑躬屈膝的狗一样"摇尾巴"(比较希腊语 sainein "摇尾巴",也有"奉承"的意思; 另见 wheedle)。
但德·范发现这些词的语音问题,得出结论说这个词源不确定,尽管他提出了一个与 avidus "渴望的"有关的联系,通过 *adulo- "渴望某事的人",因此是"奉承者"。奉承可能来自真正的盲目崇拜,也可能是虚伪的,出于利益的希望。
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), via a prefixed *ad-awido-, syncopated to *ad-audo-, then with the second d dissimilated to l, yielding *adūlo-, "eagerly seeking something, flattering."
The first known use of adulation was in the 15th century
