# oboedio
## Latin
### Alternative forms

* obaudiō
* obēdiō

### Etymology

From Proto-Italic *óbawizdijō. By surface analysis, ob- +‎ audiō. 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).

### Pronunciation

* (Classical Latin) IPA: /oˈboe̯.di.oː/, [ɔˈboe̯d̪ioː]
* (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA: /oˈbe.di.o/, [oˈbɛːd̪io]

### Verb

oboediō (present infinitive oboedīre, perfect active oboedīvī or oboediī, supine oboedītum); fourth conjugation
* to obey, yield obedience to (+dative of person obeyed)
    Synonyms: obtemperō, obsequor, pāreō, mōrigeror
    Antonym: recalcitrō
* to be subject to, to serve
    Synonyms: serviō, appāreō

#### Derived terms

* inoboediō
* oboediēns

#### Descendants

* Catalan: obeir
* → Old French: obeir (learned)
** Middle French: obeir
*** French: obéir
** → English: obey
* Friulian: ubidî
