Question:

Synonyms for Obsequious?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

So I just learned a word a couple weeks ago and I've already forgotten it.

It means "eager to please, self-less" but it's not obsequious, subservient, servile, sycophant, submissive, fawn, or docile. I've been trying to look it up in different search engines but I can't find it.

Can you figure it out? It's driving me crazy.
