<ahb-seek-qwee-us>
servile; subservient; slavish;
being submissive and groveling.
She is not obsequious. She gives her opinion and stands up for herself.
Memory trick:
obsequious reminds of obsessed.
we flatter and fawn when we are obsessed.
At work:
I don't want obsequious employees. I want people who are willing to speak up.
