Root Explanation

Concessioner → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "cessio" (from Latin, meaning to yield or give way). The suffix "-er" indicates a person who performs an action. Thus, a concessioner is a person who yields or gives way, often in a negotiation or agreement context.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'yields' ('cessio') in a discussion, and the 'con-' means they are doing it 'together' with others. This helps you remember that a concessioner is someone who gives way in negotiations.
