To comply with the wishes, to yield to one:

cessit auctoritati amplissimi viri vel potius paruit,

Cic. Lig. 7, 21; cf. Tac. A. 12, 5:

precibus,

Cic. Planc. 4, 9:

cessit tibi blandienti Cerberus,

Hor. C. 3, 11, 15;

cf,

id. Ep. 1, 18, 43 sq.; Verg. A. 2, 704; 3, 188; Ov. M. 6, 32; 6, 151; 9, 13;

9, 16: omnes in unum cedebant,

Tac. A. 6, 43; 3, 16; cf. id. ib. 12, 10 and 41.—Hence,

Act.: cedere (alicui) aliquid = concedere, to grant, concede, allow, give up, yield, permit something to some one:

permitto aliquid iracundiae tuae, do adulescentiae, cedo amicitiae, tribuo parenti,

Liv. 6, 42, 3; Tac. A. 12, 41: non cedere with quominus, Quint. 5, 7, 2.—

In respect to the terminus ad quem, to arrive, attain to, come somewhere:

cedunt, petunt,

Plaut. Aul. 3, 5, 43:

ibi ad postremum cedit miles, aes petit,

id. ib. 3, 5, 52.—

Trop.:

hoc cedere ad factum volo,

come to its execution, Plaut. Capt. 2, 2, 102.—

Cedere alicui or in aliquem, to come to, fall ( as a possession) to one, to fall to his lot or share, [p. 308] accrue:

ut is quaestus huic cederet,

Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 70, § 170:

captiva corpora Romanis cessere,

aurum ex hostibus captum in paucorum praedam cessisse,

ab Tullo res omnis Albana in Romanum cesserit imperium,

Liv. 1, 52, 2; Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 174:

in dicionem M. Antonii provinciae cesserant,

Cedere in aliquid, like abire in aliquid (v. abeo, II.), to be changed or to pass into something, to be equivalent to or become something:

cĕdo, old imperat. form, whose contr. plur. is cette (cf. Prob. II. p. 1486 P.; Non. p. 84, 31 sq.) [compounded of the particle -ce and the root da-; v. 1. do], hither with it! here! give! tell, say (implying great haste, familiarity, authority, and so differing from praebe, dic, etc.); cf. Key, § 731.

In gen., hither with it, give or bring here.
