殷勤

• 拼音: yīn qín
• 汉字拆解: 殷 = 殳 + 身 (weapon + body — deep engagement, abundant); 勤 = 堇 + 力 (plant + strength — diligent, persistent effort)

含义

Attentive and warm; hospitable; eager to please; assiduous in serving others. Can carry a slightly sycophantic or overly solicitous connotation depending on context.
