Cease resistance and donate more (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

give up

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

'cease resistance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'donate more' is the wordplay.
'donate' becomes 'give' (I've seen this before).
'more' becomes 'up' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'give'+'up'='GIVE UP'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for give up that I've seen before include "Abandon; cede" , "Resign" , "Surrender informally, cease to try" , "Throw in the towel" , "Surrender or abandon hope" .)
