Acquiesce (to) (6)

I think it could be either:

assent

accede

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Agree - concede" , "Compliance, agreement" , "Expression of agreement" , "Acquiescence" , "Permit or approve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Washington Post Sunday.
