fawning means servile or cringing. ➡here, the word publican has been used to mean a fellow who runs a tavern or a boarding and lodging establishment. ➡ shylock uses the phrase a fawning publican for Antonio in a contemptuous sense. ➡actually Antonio is neither a flatter (or a cringing man) nor an inn keeper
