(shǒu) — to guard, to defend, to keep watch; to abide by, to observe (rules, law, discipline); to keep, to maintain (a secret, a promise)

Définition

守 covers both senses here: 'to guard/keep watch' (like 守护, but plain and short-term) and 'to keep/abide by' (rules, promises, secrets). For 'comply with rules', 遵守 is the more standard set phrase; 守 by itself is shorter and more literary.
