I believe the answer is:

yields

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

'gives in' is the definition.
('yield' can be a synonym of 'give in')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yields that I've seen before include "Surrenders the crops" , "Investment returns" , "Submits" , "Gives way, surrenders" , "Produces or gives in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
