CEDE,
to give up, to yield. (L.) A modern word; not in
Pope's poems. It occurs in Durmmond's Travels (1754), p. 256
(Todd). [Probably directly from Lat. rather than from F. céder.]—Lat.
cēdere, pp. cessus, to yield; related to Lat. cădere, to fall.
See Chance, and Cease. Der.
cess-ion. ¶
From the
Lat. cedere we have many derivatives; such as cease, accede,
concede, exceed, intercede, precede, proceed, recede, secede,
succeed, and their derivatives. Also antecedent, decease,
abscess, ancestor, predecessor, &c.
