To treat someone with excessive kindness or comfort, giving them luxuries and making them feel special.
From Middle Low German 'pamper' meaning to swathe or wrap up; possibly related to feeding or nursing; evolved to mean indulgent treatment.
The word 'pamper' comes from the idea of wrapping someone up carefully—the same root inspired the diaper brand name 'Pampers,' betting that parents would pamper their babies with their products.
