Where this word comes from

From earlier *oboizdijō, from *obowizdijō, from *obawizdijō, from *ob- + *awizdijō. By surface analysis, ob- + audiō. In Latin, ob + audire would have been expected to become Classical Latin *obūdiō (compare in + claudō becoming inclūdō), but it has been theorized that the usual law court associations of the word for obeying encouraged a false archaism from ū to oe, to oboediō (compare Old Latin oinos → Classical Latin ūnus).
