    How to use "Giving way" in context?

    Giving way means to stop using force or applying pressure to advance an opponent, or to yield to an opponent's demand. Surprisingly, this term gets its name from ship terminology. A ship giving way means to port (aka yield) to a given point on the waterway in order to allow another vessel to pass. This is done by moving away from the original course, instead of pressing on towards the destination. In order to make this safe, it is important to signal to the other vessel and avoid sudden movements.

    Since the term is derived from maritime terminology, it can be used in a variety of contexts.
