Etymology
1. 1633, from L.
cedere "to yield," originally "to go, leave," from PIE base
*ked- "to go, yield" (cf. Gk.
hodos "way," O.C.S.
chodu "a walking, going," Skt.
a-sad- "to go, approach").
2. Borrowed from Middle French ceder, from Old French ceder, from Latin cēdō (“to yield”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱyesdʰ- (“to drive away; to go away”). Cognate with Tocharian B kätk- (“to cross, pass”). See: Old French '
ceder', Latin '
cēdō'.
