Agree with a number of Romans and give way (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accede

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agree with' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a number of romans and give way' is the wordplay.
'a number of romans' becomes 'ac' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'give way' becomes 'cede' (I've seen this before).
'ac'+'cede'='ACCEDE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accede that I've seen before include "Succeed to or allow" , "Agree (to) - come into office" , "Grant, agree to proposal" , "Assume" , "Comply" .)
