(adj.) Submissive, compliant, obedient, servile. Cringing, fawning. Quality of accommodating oneself to the will of another.
Ex. Obsequious Sammy bowed down and licked the emperor's boots.
How I remember: The "qui" in the middle reminds me of the word "liquid". Liquid is fluid, accommodating, always fits the shape of the container it's in. A person who is like this would be obsequious.
