Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym降参こうさんNeutralNeutral word for surrender after defeat or admitting loss; also for being stumped by a problem. More passive than 「帰順」.
  • Synonym服従ふくじゅうWrittenWritten word for obedience — quietly following another's orders or will. It does not imply that the person was previously in rebellion, as 「帰順」 does.
  • Related屈するくっするWrittenWritten word for yielding to pressure or force; unlike 「帰順」 it carries no sense of repenting and returning to one's former allegiance.
  • Related服するふくするWrittenWritten word for obeying or complying; also for serving a prison sentence or going into mourning. Focus is on following orders or on such obligations.
  • Antonym反逆はんぎゃくWrittenWritten word for treason or rebellion against one's lord or the government; the opposite of the return to allegiance that 「帰順」 describes.
  • Antonym反抗はんこうNeutralNeutral word for defying or refusing to obey superiors or authority; stands opposite to the submission of 「帰順」.

「帰順」 is the written, historical word for a rebel repenting and returning to his original lord. Surrender after defeat is 「降参」; obedience is 「服従」; yielding under pressure is 「屈する」. 「反逆」 and 「反抗」 are its opposites.
