==Origin==
[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._1100-1500_.09THE_MIDDLE_ENGLISH_PERIOD Middle English], from Anglo-French, from [[Latin]] ''submission''-, ''submissio'' act of lowering, from ''submittere''
*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_century 14th Century]
==Definitions==
*1a : to yield oneself to the [[authority]] or will of another : [[surrender]]
:b : to [[permit]] oneself to be subjected to something <had to submit to surgery>
2: to defer to or [[consent]] to abide by the [[opinion]] or [[authority]] of another
==Description==
''Deference'' (also called '''submission''' or [[passivity]]) is the condition of submitting to the espoused, legitimate [[influence]] of one's superior or superiors. Deference implies a yielding or submitting to the [[judgment]] of a recognized superior out of [[respect]] or [[reverence]]. Deference has been [[studied]] extensively by political scientists, sociologists, and psychologists.
There is ongoing [[debate]] among psychologists as to the extent to which deference in a [[relationship]] is determined by a person's innate [[personality]] [[type]] or is the result of a person's experiences and conditioning. In interpersonal relationships, a [[partner]] can assume a submissive role to fit in or to make him or herself [[acceptable]] to the other partner, and can be a benign aspect of a relationship. On the other hand, it may be an indication of an interpersonal [[problem]], such as partner [[abuse]]. If one or both of the people are experiencing chronic, pervasive [[emotional]] distress then the [[sex]] [[partners]] or [[individuals]] may require psychological [[evaluation]].
In interpersonal [[relationships]], some people prefer or are willing to adopt a submissive role in sexual activities or personal matters. The level and type of submission can vary from person to [[person]], and from one context to another; and also is dependent on the other [[partner]] being willing to assume [[control]] in those situations. Some people can include occasional acts of submission in an otherwise [[conventional]] sex life, or adopt a submissive [[lifestyle]].
