| Alternative spelling

| 服從 (kyūjitai)
|
Gikun word derived by applying Chinese-derived spelling 服従 (“submission”), a term which decomposes into 服 (“obey/conform”) + 従 (“conform to rule”), to native Japanese verb したがう (shitaga.u, “subdue”).
Verb
服従／服從[1] (shitagawa, the irrealis base form of 従う, shitaga.u)
- subdue
- ※ 服 literally means dress with clothes conforming to the shape of the body, and has the related meaning of obey/conform. This is reminiscent of Genesis 2:15 where it is said that God put man in the garden of Eden to "dress it and to keep it." (KJV)
