fawningly
With excessive praise
In a manner that shows excessive flattery or submissive admiration, like a young deer (fawn) eagerly seeking attention from its mother.
Someone who speaks fawningly is trying too hard to please: She fawningly complimented the boss on every decision.
The word suggests insincerity and loss of dignity.
