What does Ceding really mean?

Alright, so "ceding" is a word that means giving up or surrendering something. It's like when you have a toy that you really like, but then you decide to give it to your friend because they really want it. You cede the toy to them, meaning you let them have it and you don't have it anymore.

Another example of ceding could be when a country gives up a piece of land to another country. They cede the land, meaning they hand it over and it's not theirs anymore.

So the word "ceding" basically means letting go of something, whether it's a physical object or a piece of land. It's kind of like making a little sacrifice to help someone else out or to make peace with a situation.

I hope that explanation helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
