obeyed

'followed orders' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ottoman governor as found in dictionary' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'governor' could be 'bey' (bey is a kind of governor) and 'bey' is located in the answer.
'dictionary' could be 'oed' (Oxford English Dictionary) and 'oed' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' acts as a link.
