Etymology
The word 'yielding' has its origins in Middle English and Old English. In Middle English, 'yelden' meant 'to pay, give, or return.' This evolved from the Old English 'gieldan' meaning 'to pay, return, or reward.' The sense of 'producing a natural product or result' emerged in the late Middle English period. Over time, 'yielding' has come to be used in various contexts beyond agriculture, including finance and physics.
See also: unyielding, unyieldingly, unyieldingness, yield.
