Etymology

The word 'biddable' originates from the verb 'bid', which has roots in Old English 'bidan' meaning 'to command' or 'to offer'. Over time, 'biddable' developed as an adjective that describes the quality of being able to be bid or commanded upon. The suffix '-able' indicates the capacity or suitability for something, thereby reinforcing the notion of being inclined to comply with requests. The use of 'biddable' can be traced back to the 19th century, mainly in British English, reflecting societal views towards obedience in both human behavior and animal training. It conveys a sense of endearment towards those who are naturally compliant, whether in domestic settings or broader contexts.
