Succumb

SUCCUMB

#To lose the determination to
oppose something; to accept
defeat:

e.g. The town finally succumbed last
week after being pounded with heavy
artillery for more than two months.

e.g. I'm afraid I succumbed to temptation and had a piece of cheesecake.

e.g. I felt sure it would only be a matter of time before he succumbed to my
charms.

#To die or suffer badly from an
illness:

e.g. Thousands of cows have succumbed
to the disease in the past few
months.
