Etymology

The word 'obey' originates from the Latin 'berฤ“re', which means 'to hear' or 'listen to'. It passed into Old French as 'obeir', meaning 'to abide by' or 'to be subject to'. The transition into Middle English brought about the term 'obeyen'. Throughout its evolution, 'obeyed' has retained a focus on the concept of listening closely to commands or rules established by those in power. The connotation of the word also encapsulates ideas of duty, moral obligation, and respect towards authority figures, whether they are parents, leaders, or laws of society. The persistence of its use in contemporary English continues to emphasize the significance of adherence to authority and the responsibilities that come with it.
