Cession is the official act of giving up land, property, or rights — most often when one country hands land to another after a war or a treaty. The land or right that is given up can also be called a cession. This is formal, legal, history-book English, not kitchen English. Friends do not talk about the cession of a pencil; governments, courts, and old maps do. It is cooler and more official than plain “giving”: there is usually a signed paper, and the change is meant to last. People do stretch it to a company giving up a legal right (water rights, for example), but the centre of the word is still that official hand-over.
組成From Middle French cession, from Latin cessionem, from the past participle of cēdere (“to yield”). By surface analysis, cede + -sion.
