pliantly
In yielding fashion
Pliantly means in a flexible or yielding manner.
Someone who responds pliantly bends to pressure or adapts readily: She pliantly agreed to change the schedule.
The word can suggest physical flexibility or, more often, a willingness to comply with others' wishes—sometimes implying excessive accommodation.
