Thanks, Mister Micawber. Then the English equivalents of 'cedere'/'cess' have to be:

cede (verb),

cession (noun).

What do you mean 'equivalent'? the meanings have changed from the original Latin. The English words mean 'give up (something)'.

The word 'cedere' in Latin has several meanings, 'go, pass, grant, concede, give up, yield, give way, withdraw'.

You haven't answered my question. What do you mean 'equivalent'? The English words do not have all those meanings.

The original question is about the closest equivalent to 'cess' in English.

So, using analogies we have: cess -> cedere -> cede, cession... or not?

You still haven't answered my question. What does 'equivalent' mean to you? Synonymy? Spelling? Usage? Something else?

That's a good point, Mister Micawber.

The question is about the eventual interpretation of 'cess' alone as a noun/verb if it is linked to existing English words stemming from the same Latin root.

'Eventual interpretation'? When will that come to pass, and to what purpose?

I am trying to collect all English nouns/verbs starting with the prefix 're-' and determine whether the omission of said prefix produces partially meaningful constructs. It is a part of a database for cognitive studies. Another interesting example is the word 're-port'.
