Some common synonyms of obedient are amenable , docile , and tractable . While all these words mean "submissive to the will of another," obedient implies compliance with the demands or requests of one in authority.
The words amenable and obedient can be used in similar contexts, but amenable suggests a willingness to yield or cooperate because of a desire to be agreeable or because of a natural open-mindedness.
Although the words docile and obedient have much in common, docile implies a predisposition to submit readily to control or guidance.
In some situations, the words tractable and obedient are roughly equivalent. However, tractable suggests having a character that permits easy handling or managing.
