the.com/compliance
The art of doing what you're told, documented in triplicate.
means The act of going along with a rule, request, or demand — bending toward what's required rather than resisting it.
from From Latin 'complere,' meaning 'to fill up' or 'complete,' by way of 'complire' and French 'complier' — 'to fulfill.' Through the 1600s it drifted from merely completing a task to yielding or acquiescing: compliance became less about finishing a thing and more about not fighting it.
