Used in a sentence
Knowing when to yield — to accept help, to step back, to let professionals lead — is wisdom.

Old English 'gieldan' — to pay, to give up; from Proto-Germanic.
Did you know? The agricultural sense (a field yields its harvest) and the emotional sense (yielding to another's judgment) share the same root of giving what is needed.
