acceding
Yielding to demands
Acceding is giving consent or agreeing to a demand or request, often after initial reluctance: After months of negotiation, the company finally acceded to union demands.
In formal contexts, acceding refers to assuming an office or position: The prince acceded to the throne following his father's death.
Nations accede to treaties by formally joining them.
