Etymology of MOST OBEYING

The phrase most obeying does not have an etymology as it is not a standalone word. It appears to be a combination of the superlative adjective most and the present participle verb obeying. However, the word obey has an etymology of its own.

The word obey comes from the Old French word obeir, which originated from the Latin word oboedire. The Latin term was a combination of the prefix ob- (meaning toward or in the direction of) and the verb audire (meaning to hear). Obey originally carried the sense of to listen to or to hear and follow. Over time, the meaning evolved into its modern sense of to follow instructions or orders.
