+ It meant to go away, withdraw, as in Plautus and Cicero's ''ab eōrum oculīs aliquō concēderēs'' “you would have gone somewhere away from their eyes”, and in Lucretius to pass into a new state.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) In Terence it meant to give way to another's wishes, and in Cicero to be second to someone.^(OLD 2012) From Plautus it meant to give up rights or property and to grant a request, and in Cicero to permit, allow, to concede a point, and to make allowance for weakness.^(OLD 2012) Döderlein explains that ''concēdere'' grants something on request, against refusing, while ''permittere'' leaves someone free to act.^(Döderlein 1874)

+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant to grant, concede, submit.^(Stelten 1995) It survives in Italian ''concedere'' and Spanish ''conceder'', and gave [[en|concede]] in the 1630s; its noun ''concessiō'' gave [[en|concession]] in the mid-15th century.^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline)
