Translate Latin 'cedi' to yield 'the very same' (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

identical

'the very same' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'translate latin cedi' is the wordplay.
'translate' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'latin'+'cedi'='latincedi'
'latincedi' anagrammed gives 'IDENTICAL'.

'to yield' is the link.

(Other definitions for identical that I've seen before include "Equal" , "Impossible to tell apart" , "Exactly alike, the same in every detail" , "Like two peas in a pod" , "Aid client to be the very same" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
