Not true secede can be used in place of withdraw from and break away from
Rescind maybe a better word but secede is a synonym for withdraw. Also no one cares.
I care.
The etymology is "to go apart", and the definition is specifically to "break away from", "to go apart from", with "from" being the operative word.
You don't "secede" an object, argument, or point; you secede from an organization, country, or group.
