noun

Etymology: From French adulation, from Latin adulātio (“flattery”).

  1. Flattery; fulsome praise.

    He was uncomfortable with the adulation from his fans.

    Now all this was very fine, but not at all in keeping with the Celebrity's character as I had come to conceive it. The idea that adulation ever cloyed on him was ludicrous in itself. In fact I thought the whole story fishy, and came very near to saying so.
