I think you are "Yielding" to the dictioary's definition rather than "Surendering"
to the proper version!

I suppose - guess we really need to have the original meanings from the original language, huh?

I think there's a slight difference too. I agree with RR and CS.

You don't have two different words for no good reason you know.

My thinking, too. And though I know what the dictionary reads, as I looked them up, I guess in my mind I was going by the examples of surrender that don't always indicate a willingness to surender.
