yields

Produces or capitulates

Yields means to produce or give forth.

A field yields crops, an investment yields returns, a search yields results: The experiment yielded surprising data.

To yield is also to give way—surrendering to force, pressure, or authority: She yielded to their demands.

A yield sign requires drivers to give way to other traffic.

In finance, yield is the return on an investment, expressed as a percentage: a bond with a 5% yield.
