concessionary

The word 'concessionary' is built upon the core Latin verb 'concedere', meaning "to go away, yield, grant". This verb itself is composed of 'con-' (an intensifying prefix meaning "altogether") and 'cedere' (to go, withdraw). The journey from the literal act of physically yielding ground to the modern abstract concept of granting a privilege or price reduction is a clear semantic evolution. The noun-forming suffix '-ion' was added to create 'concession', denoting the act or result of granting. Finally, the adjectival suffix '-ary' was appended, forming a term that describes something pertaining to such a grant, particularly one made as a special allowance.
