Willing or inclined to apply oneself; compliant or obedient; showing eagerness to comply or cooperate.
From Latin 'applians' (applying oneself), present participle of 'applicare.' The suffix '-ant' marks it as an adjective denoting a state or quality.
The word 'appliant' is rare because 'compliant' does the job better—but 'appliant' specifically captures the active effort of applying oneself, not just passive obedience!
