obsequiencen.

Brit.

/əbˈsiːkwɪəns/, U.S.

/əbˈsikwiəns/

Origin: Probably a borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin obsequentia.

Etymology: Probably < classical Latin obsequentia obsequence n. (compare -ence suffix), remodelled after obsequious adj. Compare French obséquience (1848 in an isolated attestation). Compare also earlier obsequence n., obsequency n., and obsequent adj.¹Webster (1886) records obsequience as an irregular form of obsequence n., but does not include the latter in any previous editions and marks both words as rare; obsequence n. is also not included in Bailey (1770), Richardson (1836), or Worcester (1846), and is apparently unattested in the 18th cent.

Compliance, obsequiousness, deference.
