Word to the Wise: Biddable

“Biddable” (BID-uh-bul) – from the Middle English for “to ask/command” – means obedient/easily led.

Example (as used by Thomas Sutcliffe in The Independent): “The chaotically organised event proved nothing more than that one charismatic individual can impose his will on a lot of biddable ones.”
