The word "遵命" is formed by combining the character "遵", meaning to obey, which is a phono-semantic character consisting of the semantic component "辶" (indicating movement related to following) and the phonetic component "尊" (providing the pronunciation), with the character "命", meaning command, which is a compound of "口" (mouth, indicating speaking) and "令" (to command), resulting in a word that literally means "to obey a command".
