From ob- + audio. In Latin, ob + audire would have been expected to become Classical Latin *obūdiō (compare in + claudō becoming inclūdō), but it has been theorized that the usual law court associations of the word for obeying encouraged a false archaism from ū to oe, to oboediō (compare Old Latin oinos → Classical Latin ūnus).

- to obey, yield obedience to (+dative of person obeyed)
- Synonyms: obtemperō, obsequor, pāreō, mōrigeror
- Antonym: recalcitrō
