Give in to what = give in regard to what?
Hello,
"give in to" is my obsessive conundrum.
Could any native speaker help to clear it up?
Thank you for your help.
I have an idea of it that it means: "to give contained or surrounded in a rgard which is in relation to / connected with what".
That is : give in to what = give in regard to what
But Lot's wife gave in to her curiosity and glanced back to see what was happening in the cities.
= But Lot's wife gave in regard to her curiosity and glanced back to see what was happening in the cities.

Yes, it is right.
But let's do it some other way.
"Take in" is its counterpart.
Don't be taken in by his smmoth.
------He take you to be in his trap by his smooth.
Don't give in to his demand.
-----Don't give your insistance to be in where according to his demand.
So, here, the "in" and "to" = to be contained or surrounded in somewher
