My wife, a lady never oddly to give in (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yield

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

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

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yield that I've seen before include "Cede, give way" , "Stop defending" , "Income" , "Submit; produce" , "size of crop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
