I toss bouquet out — completely timeless and ingratiating (10)
I believe the answer is:
obsequious
'ingratiating' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for obsequious that I've seen before include "cringing?" , "Fawning" , "Sycophantic" , "Servile" .)
