Piece of ice destined to give way (4)

I believe the answer is:

cede

'give way' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'piece of ice destined to' is the wordplay.
'piece of' indicates a hidden word.
'CEDE' is hidden within 'ice destined to'.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Allow" , "Transfer" , "Deliver" , "Give up one's rights" , "Surrender or relinquish possession" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Irish News.
