oboedio
Latin
Etymology
From ob- + audio. 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) IPA(key): /oˈboe̯.di.oː/, [ɔˈboe̯d̪ioː]
