迎合

• 拼音: yíng hé
• 汉字拆解: 迎 = 辶 + 卬 (movement toward); 合 = 人 + 口 (person + mouth — to fit/conform)

含义

To cater to; to pander to; to accommodate oneself to others' tastes or wishes, often at the expense of principle.

Carries a mildly negative or neutral-to-negative connotation — it implies adjusting one's behaviour or output to please others rather than acting on genuine conviction. Common in media criticism (迎合大众口味 — pandering to popular taste), political commentary (迎合民粹情绪), and workplace dynamics.
