Concessions at a ballpark or at another venue are called that because the stadium has granted the right to sell food to a certain provider. Chew on that the next time you’re munching on peanuts at a game.

词源：
concession (n.)mid-15c., “act of granting or yielding” (especially in argumentation), from Old French concession (14c.) or directly from Latin concessionem (nominative concessio) “an allowing, conceding,” noun of action from past-participle stem of concedere “to give way, yield,” figuratively “agree, consent, give precedence,” from con-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see con-), + cedere “to go, grant, give way” (from PIE root *ked- “to go, yield”).
From 1610s as “the thing or point yielded.” Meaning “property granted by government” is from 1650s. Sense of “grant of privilege by a government to individuals to engage in some enterprise” is from 1856, from a sense in French. Hence the meaning “grant or lease of a small part of a property for some specified purpose” (1897), the sense in concession stand “snack bar, refreshment stand.”Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
让步 (n.)mid-15c.，“给予或让步的行为”（尤其是在辩论中），源自古法语让步 (14c.) 或直接源自拉丁语让步（主格 让步）“允许，让步，”行动名词源自 concedere 的过去分词词根“让位，让步”，比喻“同意，同意，给予优先权”，源自 con-，这里可能是一个强化前缀（见 con-），+ cedere “去，让位，让位”（来自 PIE 根 *ked-“去，让步”）。从 1610 年代开始称为“产生的事物或点”。意思是“政府授予的财产”是从 1650 年代开始的。 “政府授予个人从事某些企业的特权”的含义是从1856年开始的，来自法语的含义。因此，意思是“为某些特定目的授予或租赁财产的一小部分”（1897 年），特许摊位的意思是“小吃店、茶点摊”。相关条目及更多
