In literature, "obeisant" functions as an adjective denoting a deep, demonstrative deference or submissiveness, often employed to illustrate a character's relationship to authority or to imbue settings with a ceremonial quality. Its usage varies from depicting the humble worship of a group by those in power, as seen when priests display deference to a harsh judge [1], to evoking the graceful compliance of nature itself, where even the river's wave is described as trailing its sovereign with respectful submission [2]. The term also underscores the intricate social dynamics of polite subservience, whether it be in the respectful addressing of a servant by a superior [3] or in the ceremonious acknowledgments of authority in literary greetings and catalogues of courtesy [4, 5, 6].
