Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin concessionem (a yielding, concession), from concedere (to yield, give way, concede), composed of com- (intensifying prefix) and cedere (to go, yield). The term entered Middle English via Old French in the late 14th century, initially denoting a grant or privilege conceded by a sovereign or authority before broadening into general senses of compromise and yielding in an argument.
