Third person singular present tense of comply; acts in accordance with a request, rule, or demand.
From comply, from Old French complir, Latin complere 'to complete or fulfill.' The verb evolved through Romance languages to specifically mean 'to follow or obey.'
The verb 'comply' is interesting because it's both action and attitude—you can comply physically while mentally resisting, which is why the word became important in contexts like legal compliance, where the behavior matters more than the spirit.
