The most basic definition is to give something. I yield for traffic, I am giving them room to drive. My garden yields a lot of food. My garden gives me a lot of food. When you hear a word used in a context that doesn't immediately make sense. Think of the basic meaning and how it could be related to the sentence you just heard. It is often not a direct link but an implied one. In some cases this will not work, but it often does.

Yield has 2 main definitions, all of the other meanings are just variations on the main two. After reading through them it seems like the others are uncommon and I haven't seen yield used in those contexts before.
The main definitions are, 1) give way to arguments, demands, or pressure. For example: his argument was flawless so I will yield and give up.
(This one can also mean physically as well as metaphorically, as in, not just giving up on an argument but also giving up your spot while driving to 'yield' for other cars.)
and 2) produce or provide a profit. For example: The crop yield this year was fantastic.
If you stick to those two you won't have any problems.
