cédera

Cédera is the third person singular form of the French verb céder in the futur simple tense, corresponding to the translation "will yield" or "will cede." It stems from the verb céder, which means to give up, to yield, or to transfer possession or rights. The word is used in both literal and figurative contexts, from handing over property to yielding to a pressure or temptation.

Etymology and meaning: céder comes from Old French ceder, itself from Latin cedo, cedere, meaning to go, yield, or grant. In modern French, céder covers transitive uses (céder quelque chose à quelqu’un, to cede something to someone) and intransitive or semi-intransitive uses (céder à une tentation, to yield to a temptation; céder sous la pression, to yield under pressure).

Usage and examples: In legal or property contexts, one might say: Le pays cédera une partie du territoire dans le cadre de l’accord. In more everyday language: Si les preuves deviennent convaincantes, il cédera. On peut aussi dire céder à la pression ou céder à une demande. The form cédera is used for describing a future action by a third person singular, or in a hypothetical or narrational future.

Related forms: The related noun is cession, meaning the act of transferring rights or property. The verb céder is common in both formal writing and conversational French, and its conjugation follows regular -er verb patterns in the futur simple: il cédera, elle cédera, etc.
