Etymology

The French verb *référer* comes from the Old French *referer*, itself derived from the Latin *referre* “to bring back, to carry again.” *Referre* is formed with the prefix *re-* (again) + the verb *ferre* “to carry,” which in turn comes from the Proto‑Indo‑European root *dʰér‑ “to hold, carry.” In French the sense evolved in the 16th century from the literal “to bring back” to the figurative “to point to, to mention.”
