For once, a spelling bee that could be very useful, mostly as a putdown: sequacious adj. L sequax < sequi, to follow (see SEQUENT) + 3OUS6 1 tending to follow any leader; lacking individuality, as in thought; dependent; servile; compliant
Reminds me of story in Readers' Digest a long time ago. The father of a girl applying for admission to a prestigious girls college in filling out lengthy form came to question asking if she had leadership qualities. He wrote that while he couldn't say she had leadership qualities, she was an excellent folllower. Back came an acceptance, with statement that since all other applicants had leadership qualities, there was an urgent need for at least one good follower.
