Sequacious
/sɪˈkweɪʃəs/
adjectiveformal
(of a person) lacking independence or originality of thought.
sequacious is formed from the latin sequac-, or sequax (which means "inclined to follow" and comes from sequi, "to follow") and the english -ious. the original and now archaic meaning of sequacious was "inclined to follow" or "subservient." although that meaning might as easily describe someone who willingly dropped into line behind a war leader, or who was unusually compliant or obedient in any sense, the concept gradually narrowed into the image of someone who blindly adopts ideas without much thought. labeling a person sequacious is not very complimentary, and implies a slavish willingness to adopt a thought or opinion.
