ceditur

Ceditur is a Latin verb form meaning “it is yielded” or “it is ceded.” It is the third-person singular present passive indicative of the verb cedere, which means to yield, give up, or grant. In Latin, the passive voice is often used in official and documentary contexts to record a transfer or surrender of something from one party to another, and ceditur frequently appears in legal or chartered statements.

Historically, ceditur occurs in Roman legal texts and in medieval and early modern charters and treaties. It signals that property, rights, or privileges pass from the holder to another party, typically as part of a grant, concession, or settlement. In practice, the precise agents of transfer are usually clarified by surrounding language, but ceditur marks the resulting state of transfer itself.

Linguistically, ceditur is part of the broader family of cedere forms. In translations, it is rendered as “it is ceded” and, depending on context and surrounding tense, may convey a present, past, or situational sense of surrender or transfer. The form remains common in scholarly editions of Latin legal and administrative texts, where exact phrasing matters for the interpretation of grants and dispositions.
