From the root: REFERO, REFERT
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: REFERT is a Latin verb with two distinct meanings and origins. Firstly, it can be the third person singular present active indicative form of the verb REFERO, meaning 'to bring back,' 'to report,' 'to relate,' or 'to refer.' In this sense, it describes an action performed by a singular subject. Secondly, it can be an impersonal verb, meaning 'it matters,' 'it concerns,' 'it is important,' or 'it profits.' This impersonal usage is often followed by a genitive case indicating 'to whom' it matters, or an infinitive clause indicating 'what' matters. The example usage 'DEINDE REFERT EUM DIXISSE' clearly uses the second meaning, 'he/she/it reports that he said'.
