Crossword Genius

Yield partly once determined (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cede

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

'partly once determined' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word.
'CEDE' can be found hidden inside 'once determined'.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Give up (territory)" , "Give up one's rights" , "Give up (power to another)" , "Give up (eg, power)" , "Deliver" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
