II Trop.
   A De possessione, jure, sententia, fide, etc. (and since the Aug. per. with abl. alone; the reading ex jure suo, Liv. 3, 33, 10, is very doubtful), to depart from; to give up, resign, forego; to yield, to swerve from one's possession, station, duty, right, opinion, faith, etc.
   (a)    With de: cogere aliquem de suis bonis decedere, Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 17 fin.; cf.: de hypothecis, id. Fam. 13, 56, 2; and de possessione, id. Agr. 2, 26; de suo jure, id. Rosc. Am. 27; id.

Att. 10, 2: de scena, to retire from the stage, Cic. Fam. 7, 1, 2; cf. impers.: de officio decessum, Liv. 8, 25 fin.—
   (b)    With abl. alone (so usually in Liv.): jure suo, Liv. 3, 33 fin.: sententiā, Tac. A. 14, 49: instituto vestro, Liv. 37, 54: officio (opp. in fide atque officio pristino fore), id. 27, 10; 36, 22: fide, id. 31, 5 fin.; 34, 11; 45, 19 al.: poema ... si paulum summo decessit, vergit ad imum, Hor. A. P. 378.—
   (g)    Very rarely with ab: cum (senatus) nihil a superioribus continuorum annorum decretis decesserit, Cic. Fl. 12.—
   (d)    Absol.: si quos equites decedentis nactus sum, supplicio adfeci, Asin. Pol. ap. C. Fam. 10, 32, 5.
   B De via, to depart, deviate from the right way: se nulla cupiditate inductum de via decessisse, Cic. Cael. 16, 38: moleste ferre se de via decessisse, id. Clu. 59, 163; so, viā dicendi, Quint. 4, 5, 3.
   C (acc. to no. I. B. 2) To give way, yield to another (i. e. to his will or superior advantages—very rare): vivere si recte nescis, decede peritis, Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 213: ubi non Hymetto Mella decedunt, are not inferior, id. Od. 2, 6, 15.
   D (poet.) To avoid, shun, escape from (cf. I. B. 2 supra): nec serae meminit decedere nocti, to avoid the late night, i. e. the coldness of night, Varius ap. Macr. S. 6, 2, 20; Verg. Ecl. 8, 88; id. G. 3, 467: calori, id. ib. 4, 23.
   E To fall short of, degenerate from: de generis nobilitate, Pall. 3, 25, 2: a rebus gestis ejus et gloriae splendore, Justin. 6, 3, 8. *
III For the simple verb (v. cedo, no. I. 2), to go off, turn out, result in any manner: prospere decedentibus rebus, Suet. Caes. 24.
