'conceder' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'concedere,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'cedere' meant 'to yield or go.'

'concedere' transformed into the Old French word 'conceder,' and eventually became the modern English word 'concede' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to yield or grant,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to admit or acknowledge something.'
