I believe what you are seeking is the etymology of the word surrender. Etymology is the 'history and evolution and origin of words' http://www.etymonline.com/ Lets you look up words and you find their base - where they come from. Surrender: 1441, "to give (something) up," from O.Fr. surrendre "give up, deliver over" (13c.), from sur- "over" + rendre "give back" (see render). Reflexive sense of "to give oneself up" (especially as a prisoner) is from 1585. The noun is recorded from 1487. Notes: O.Fr means Old French

This has become one of my favorites. By the way, I'm of French heritage. France has raised its terror alert level from “run“ to “hide” The only 2 higher levels in France are: “surrender” and “collaboration” From lowest to highest: RUN HIDE SURRENDER COLLABORATE
