Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: The word 'CESS' is not a standalone Latin word in its base form. It appears to be a truncated or incomplete form, likely a stem or part of a compound verb derived from the root 'CEDO'. The root 'CEDO' means to yield, give way, or go. Depending on the context, it could be part of a past participle (e.g., 'cessus' meaning 'yielded' or 'given way') or a future active participle (e.g., 'cessurus' meaning 'about to yield'). Given the provided examples, it seems to be related to 'successus', which means 'success' or 'outcome', derived from 'succedo' (to go under, follow, succeed).
Inflection: This is likely a stem or part of an inflected form of the verb 'CEDO', such as a past participle or a future active participle. It is not a complete inflected word on its own.
