Assentatious

/ˌæsɛnˈteɪʃəs/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by excessive assent or flattery; given to agreeing in an insincere way to gain favor.

Etymology

From assentation + -ious suffix (Latin -iosus meaning full of). Forms an adjective meaning 'full of excessive agreement/flattery.'

Kelly Says

An 'assentatious' person is basically a sycophant—the word is deliciously rare and specific, perfect for describing that person in class who agrees with everything the teacher says to get good grades.
