Definition
A formal legal transfer or surrender of property, rights, or claims from one person to another.
Etymology
From Latin cessio, meaning 'a giving up' or 'a yielding,' derived from the past participle of cedere ('to yield' or 'to cede'). The term entered English legal vocabulary through Norman French after the 1066 conquest, establishing formal frameworks for property transfer.
Kelly Says
Cessio is the fancy Latin legal term that shows how medieval lawyers borrowed Roman law concepts wholesale—it's why so much of our legal system still uses Latin phrases today, centuries after Rome fell.
