I believe the answer is:

cede

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'yield' is the definition.
(I know that yield can be written as cede)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Give up (territory)" , "Give up (power to another)" , "Give away" , "21 across" , "Give up (eg, power)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
