Word of the Day

fawn

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 2, 2026 is:

fawn • \FAWN\ • verb

To fawn over or on someone (usually someone important or powerful) is to try to get their approval through praise, special attention, or flattery. Fawn is also sometimes used—especially but not exclusively of dogs—to mean “to show affection.”

// Still new to celebrity, the musician blushed at the restaurant staff fawning over her during her recent hometown visit.

// I’d only been gone five minutes but the puppy fawned on me like I’d been away for hours.

See the entry >

Examples:

“Around my Paddington patch, my ragdoll cat, Runty the Magnificent, is a street celebrity—a magnet for residents and passersby to fawn over and photograph.” — Olivia Stewart, The Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald, 10 Feb. 2026

Did you know?

Language lovers, rejoice! If you’re the sort of person who fawns over etymology (one of the best sorts of people, in our opinion), then you’ll be glad to know the story of fawn: it comes ultimately from the Old English adjective fægen or fagan, meaning “glad,” by way of the Old English verb fagnian, meaning “to rejoice.” Hooray! But we’re not finished yet, my dear. Note that this fawn is not, despite appearances, related to the noun fawn that refers to a young deer. For that we can thank the Latin noun fetus, meaning “offspring.”
