cedereuntur

Cedereuntur is a Latin verb form derived from the verb cedere, meaning to yield, give way, or concede. In standard Latin grammar, the primary form is ceduntur, the third-person plural present passive indicative of cedere. The form cedereuntur is understood as a variant spelling or orthographic variant of that same present passive form, found only sporadically in some manuscripts or medieval texts. The underlying lemma is cedere, with principal parts: cedo, cedere, cessi, cessum.

Grammatically, cedereuntur would be parsed as third-person plural, present passive, indicative mood, voice passive, tense present, from a third-conjugation -ere verb. Its literal sense in context is “they are yielded” or “they are being ceded,” typically with an object indicating what is yielded or ceded (for example lands, rights, or territories) and often implying transfer of property or concession.

Usage and note: In classical Latin, the common present passive form is ceduntur. Cedereuntur appears rarely and is generally treated as a scribal or regional variant rather than a standard citation form. When encountered, it should be interpreted as the same present passive meaning as ceduntur, depending on the surrounding syntax and textual tradition. As with many Latin forms, orthographic variants can reflect manuscript transmission rather than a distinct grammatical category.
