Etymology: [ 'flat ] (adjective.) 14th century. From Middle English flatteren, flateren (“to flutter, float, fawn over”), probably a conflation of Old English floterian (“to flutter, float, be disquieted”), from Proto-Germanic *flutrōjanan (“to be floating”), from Proto-Indo-European *pleud-, *plew-, *plōw- (“to flow, swim”); and Old Norse flaðra (“to fawn on someone, flatter”), from Proto-Germanic *flaþrōjanan (“to fawn over, flutter”), from Proto-Indo-European *peled- (“moisture, wetness”), *pel- (“to gush, pour out, fill, flow, swim, fly”). Cognate with Middle Dutch flatteren (“to embellish, flatter, caress”), German flattern (“to flutter”). The Middle English word may have been reinforced in meaning by unrelated Old French flatter (“to stroke, caress, flatter”), a word of Germanic origin, from Frankish *flat (“palm, flat of the hand”). More at flat.
Synonyms: adulate, beslaver, blandish, bootlick, brownnose, build up, butter up, cajole, cater to, charm, con, court, fawn, get next to, glorify, grovel, humor, inveigle, jolly
