Obeyed

/oʊˈbeɪd/ verb

Definition

Followed or complied with a command, rule, or instruction given by someone in authority.

Etymology

From Old French 'obéir,' derived from Latin 'obaudire,' combining 'ob-' (toward) and 'audire' (to hear), literally meaning to listen toward someone.

Kelly Says

The psychology of obedience is darker than we'd like to admit—famous experiments like Milgram's showed ordinary people will harm others if an authority figure tells them to, revealing how deep obedience instincts run.
