conforming to rules, standards, or laws
from Latin complere 'to fulfill'
Compliant means following the rules - like students in well-behaved schools!
Historically praised in women (compliant wife, compliant daughter) as virtue; same trait in men labeled 'cooperative' or 'flexible', carrying different moral weight.
Use 'cooperative', 'responsive', or 'aligned with policy' to describe behavior neutrally without gendered virtue coding.
