The answer

REFER

What refer means

To mention, allude to, or direct someone's attention to someone or something, either directly or by implication.

Where the word comes from

From Latin referre, meaning "to carry back" or "to bring back," formed from the prefix re- (back) and ferre (to carry or bear). The sense shifted in Medieval Latin to mean "to relate" or "to attribute," and entered Old French as referer before reaching Middle English as referren. The modern meaning of directing someone to a source or mentioning something developed from this notion of bringing a matter back to its origin or authority.
