MAMMOTHREPT — [Noun] An archaic term for a child rendered petulant, listless, or insolent by excessive coddling and indulgence. From Late Latin mammothreptus ("kept at the breast too long"), from Koine Greek μαμμόθρεπτος (mammóthreptos, "brought up by one's grandmother"), from Ancient Greek μάμμη (mámmē, "grandmother") + θρεπτός (threptós, "reared"), verbal adjective from τρέφω (tréphō, "to nourish, bring up"). Unlike a prodigy, whose distinction is innate brilliance, or a foundling, defined by a tragic absence of care, the mammothrept is a creature formed by an oppressive surplus of affection. It is the princeling given a third honey cake after a tantrum, the youth languid on a velvet chaise disdaining sugared violets, the small tyrant ruling a domestic empire of doting glances—a soul smothered by the very devotion meant to nourish it, a portrait of love curdled into permanent and demanding weakness.
