toady a person who behaves obsequiously to someone important. Recorded from the early 19th century, the word is said to be a contraction of
toad-eater, a charlatan's assistant who ate toads; toads were regarded as poisonous, and the assistant's survival was thought to be due to the efficacy of the charlatan's remedy.
