follow (v.)

Mile English folwen, from Old English folgian, fylgian, fylgan "to accompany (especially as a disciple), move in the se direction as; follow after, pursue, move behind in the se direction," also "obey (a rule or law), conform to, act in accordance with; apply oneself to (a practice, trade, or calling)," from Proto-Gernic *fulg- (cognates: Old Saxon folgon, Old Frisian folgia, Mile Dutch volghen, Dutch volgen, Old High Gern folgen, Gern folgen, Old Norse fylgja "to follow"). Probably originally a compound, *full-gan, with a sense of "full-going," the sense then shifting to "serve, go with as an attendant" (compare fulfill). Related: Followed; following.

Sense of "accept as leader or guide, obey or be subservient to" was in late Old English. Meaning "come after in time" is from c. 1200; meaning "to result from" (as effect from cause) is from c. 1200. Meaning "to keep up with mentally, comprehend" is from 1690s. Intransitive sense "come or go behind" is from mid-13c. To follow one's nose "go straight on" first attested 1590s. "The full phrase is, 'Follow your nose, and you are sure to go straight.' " [Farmer]. The children's ge follow my leader is attested by that ne from 1812 (as follow the leader by 1896).
