ADULATED Meaning and Definition

1. Adulated is the past participle of the verb "adulate." It refers to the act of lavishing excessive praise, flattery, or admiration onto someone, often in an insincere manner. When a person is adulated, they are being unequivocally praised and glorified without consideration for their faults or shortcomings.

   This term typically implies an element of sycophancy or an attempt to gain favor or manipulate others through excessive flattery. The act of adulation often disregards objective judgment and instead focuses solely on flattering or flattering someone to an extreme degree. When someone is adulated, it can lead to an inflated ego or a false sense of superiority as they become accustomed to constant adoration.

   The practice of adulating someone can be seen in various contexts, including politics, entertainment, and even personal relationships. It is typically associated with an imbalance of power, where individuals with less influence or social standing lavish praise upon those who hold positions of authority or who possess exceptional achievements or qualities.

   Adulation should not be confused with genuine admiration or sincere accolades, as the former tends to be excessive, insincere, and driven by ulterior motives. When someone is adulated, it often spawns an environment in which objectivity is undermined and critical thinking is suppressed.

Etymology of ADULATED

The word "adulated" comes from the verb "adulate".

The etymology of "adulate" can be traced back to the Latin word "adūlārī", which means "to flatter". This Latin term is believed to have originated from the earlier Latin word "adolescere", meaning "to grow up" or "to be nourished". Over time, "adūlārī" developed a figurative sense of flattery or excessive praise.

The word was borrowed into English from Latin and eventually coined the form “adulate,” which means to excessively praise or flatter someone. The past participle form of the verb, "adulated", refers to someone who has been subjected to adulation or excessive flattery.
