the.com/docility

means The quality of being willing to be taught, led, or managed without resistance.

from From Latin docilis, 'easily taught,' built from the verb docere, 'to teach' — the same root that gives us doctor and doctrine. So docility is etymologically a student's virtue, not a sheep's: it originally praised a mind open to lessons, long before it drifted toward meaning merely tame or compliant.
