compliantly
In yielding fashion
Compliantly means in a manner that follows rules, requests, or demands without resistance.
Someone who nods compliantly agrees readily, perhaps too readily: She compliantly signed whatever documents they put in front of her.
The word often carries a faint suggestion of excessive yielding or insufficient pushback.
