I think of it this way: the stylus is attached to the cantilever and the cantilever is attached to a suspension in the cartridge body (which allows the cantilever to follow the groove). I think of the suspension as being a spring and the compliance is a measure of how "stiff" or "loose" the spring is. Low compliance corresponds to a stiffer spring and high compliance corresponds to a looser spring. I think what I am calling a "spring" you are calling a "bearing" but it's the same idea.
