Definition
A chief flatterer; the most accomplished or shameless person at praising others insincerely.
Etymology
From Greek 'archi-' (chief) + 'flatterer' (from Old French 'flatir' to deceive). Describes someone who represents the worst or best (depending on perspective) of sycophancy.
Kelly Says
Every royal court had its archflatterer—the one courtier who could make a king feel like the wisest, most handsome, most talented ruler ever, and somehow he always got the best rewards!
