Acquiesce

Acquiesce

<ah-qwe-ess>

give in; comply; conform;

to reluctantly agree to something.

The barking dog made the man acquiesce and let the dog in the warm house.

Memory trick:
acquiesce reminds of acquire.
we agree to let them acquire something.

At work:
Our product is good and the customers will always acquiesce and buy it.
