doting
This term describes an affectionate intensity that often borders on the irrational. It suggests a level of devotion where the admirer is so captivated by the subject that they overlook flaws or behave with an indulgent, almost subservient tenderness. While generally positive, it can carry a subtle hint of criticism, implying that the love is excessive or misplaced.
In a social context, it is most frequently applied to familial relationships, such as parents or grandparents, where the power dynamic allows for unconditional spoiling. It differs from simple love by emphasizing the active, visible manifestation of adoration through constant attention and indulgence.
