the.com/submissive
The one who hands over the reins yet quietly steers the whole ride.
means Inclined to yield to the will, authority, or control of another, often willingly and by choice.
from From Latin submittere, "to lower, place under" — sub- ("under") plus mittere ("to send, put"). So at its root, to be submissive is to send yourself beneath another, to set yourself down low. The same mittere fathered a sprawling family of English words — submit, permit, transmit, mission — all built on that one verb of sending. The English adjective arrived by way of "submission," first describing humility before God or king before it ever wandered into the bedroom.
