formal
To agree to a request or demand, or to take up an office or position.
Accede is a formal verb that usually takes the preposition to. A person accedes to a demand when they finally give way, and a monarch accedes to the throne on becoming king or queen. In treaty language a state accedes to an agreement by joining it after it has been signed by others. It is easy to confuse with exceed, which sounds the same in some accents but means to go beyond a limit.
