It's important to remember that "cede" is a root, so it doesn't directly translate into English. However, it forms the basis of many English words, such as:
* Accede: to agree to a request or demand
* Concede: to admit something is true or to give in
* Intercede: to act as a mediator in a dispute
* Precede: to come before something else
* Recede: to move back or away from a previous position
* Secede: to withdraw formally from an organization or country
So, when you see the root "cede" in a word, think of it as meaning "to give way" or "to move away".
