To withdraw, retreat, or go back; to move away or depart.
From Latin 'discedere' (to go away), combining 'dis-' (away) and 'cedere' (to go, yield). This is an archaic English verb that survives mostly in historical texts.
'Discede' is a Latin cousin of 'recede' and 'precede'—all these '-cede' verbs share the meaning of motion, but 'discede' is so old that we just say 'leave' now instead.
