The word "yield" can be traced back to the Middle English and Old English word "ȝielden" or "gieldan", both of which mean "to pay". These words are derived from the Old English "gield", meaning "payment" or "tribute". The origin of "gield" is likely from the Proto-Germanic word "geldaną", which means "to pay" or "to give compensation". The etymology of "yielded" therefore follows the same root and essentially means "paid" or "gave". Over time, the term evolved to encompass other meanings, such as "to produce" or "to surrender".
