To surrender under agreed conditions.
Just before peace talks on Kosovo are due to resume, the United
States and its allies are sending contradictory signals to
Belgrade, making it less likely that President Slobodan Milosevic
of Yugoslavia will
capitulate on American terms.
-- Steven Erlanger, "West's Bosnia Move May Hurt Kosovo Bid", New
York Times, March 7, 1999
I am ashamed to think how easily we
capitulate to badges and names.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
We say "capitulate" because the terms (of surrender) were drawn
up in capitula, which is Latin for "chapters." Chapter itself is
related to capitulate.
