Etymology
Concession also means an official right or contract that someone is given; it comes from Latin con- 'together' and cedere 'to give way' and shares the idea of 'granting' with the word concede. That's why a stadium 'concession' or 'concession stand' is the right given to a company to sell food inside the venue.
