Acquiescing, submitting (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acceding

This clue is a double definition.

'acquiescing' is the first definition.
('accede' can be a synonym of 'acquiesce')

'submitting' is the second definition.
('accede' can be a synonym of 'submit')

(Other definitions for acceding that I've seen before include "Admitting" , "Acquiescing, assenting" , "Assenting or yielding" , "Acquiescing, submitting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
