ACCEDE Meaning and
Definition
-
The verb "accede" is defined as the act of formally agreeing to a request, proposal, or demand that has been presented to someone. It is often used to describe the acknowledgment or acceptance of a position, office, or authority, either voluntarily or under pressure. Additionally, "accede" can also refer to a country joining an international treaty, convention, or agreement.
In a more generic sense, "accede" can signify giving consent, approval, or assent to something. It implies yielding to or granting permission for a particular course of action or decision. When someone accedes to a request or invitation, they agree to it and become party to the matter at hand.
The term is derived from Latin and has its roots in the word "accedere," which means "to approach" or "to come near." This etymology suggests the idea of getting closer to an agreement or entering into a formal arrangement.
To illustrate the usage of "accede," consider an example where a government official is asked to take up a higher office due to the sudden resignation of their predecessor. Should they accept the request, they would be said to "accede" to the position, indicating their formal acknowledgment and acceptance of the duties and responsibilities associated with it.
