I really dislike how some people are so sequacious in their opinions.

Yeah, it’s like they just follow the crowd without thinking for themselves.

Root Explanation

Sequacious → It is formed from "sequi" (meaning to follow) and the suffix "-ous" (meaning full of or characterized by). The word describes someone who is characterized by following or being obedient to others, often without independent thought.

Memory Tip

Think of 'following' ('sequi') and being 'full of' ('-ous') that tendency — that's why sequacious means someone who follows others closely.
